...space. The artists in the group who contributed most to the cover were three Milwaukee boys named Roger. Peter and Jimmy; they dislike apportioning credit or using their family names. "We are waiting for another name," they explain. In the photo above, some group members (including Roger and Peter) display a picture of an old Indian called Gordon Whitefoot that they have adopted as their logo, a collective symbol to substitute for their individual identities...
When it comes to risky occupations these days, the diplomat from Red China takes second place to no one. Last winter 30 embassy aides in Moscow were pummeled by irate Russians while they tried to protect a Chinese propaganda display. In April, Indonesian troops had to be called out to disperse a mob that was preparing to burn down China's Djakarta embassy. Ten Chinese aides ousted from India two weeks ago filed into their plane wearing conspicuous bandages on their heads. Expelled in reprisal for Chinese violence against two Indian diplomats, the Chinese said they had been beaten...
...jongg or the Charleston. Almost alone, French Critic Maurice Feuillet in 1929 hailed him as "a harbinger of the art of tomorrow, a prince of fantasy, a magician of conception."

Smiths & Sidewheelers. Last month Shelburne was-in a manner of speaking-completed, when J. Watson Webb Jr., her son and president of the museum, dedicated the 35th building on what is now a 45-acre expanse of farmland: a white 1830 Greek Revival-style house designed to display the paintings and furnishings from his parents' Manhattan apartment. (They died in 1960.) The new building joins eight Early American houses, eight barns and sheds, a general store, meetinghouse, schoolhouse, jail, smithy, covered bridge, railroad station, steam locomotive, lighthouse, sawmill, hunting lodge, and the 892-ton Lake Champlain sidewheeler Ticonderoga.
