...protest the Chinese outrages. They began an emergency airlift of all of their more than 200 embassy dependents from Peking, who started boarding planes amidst a howling mob of angry Chinese. The Russians also retaliated in Moscow, where the Chinese embassy had mounted inside its compound a glassed-in display of photographs of police and students scuffling in what the Chinese called "The Bloody Incident in Red Square." Burly Soviet plainclothesmen chopped down the display case with axes and saws. When the Chinese rushed out to defend their art work, the cops pushed in a few diplomatic noses as well...
Overtly Menacing. In the year-long Chieu Hoi program, other messages are more overtly menacing, including the display of the body or rotted skull of a dead soldier and the lists of dead North Vietnamese.

It is not the artist's first case of double exposure. Last December, he was given simultaneous one-man exhibitions-indoors by Philadelphia's I.C.A. and outdoors by Hartford...
...rigor and devotion of Schapiro's scholarly work display the influence of the Talmudic tradition which he inherited from his father, who taught at a Jewish seminary in Russia. Three qualities characterize Schapiro's approach to the history of art: sensitive and sympathetic seeing, detailed and accurate description, and an effort to make aesthetic intuition accessible through a philosophically rigorous theory...
