...Mexico's Big Three took a hard second look at the world about him and had the courage to draw what he saw: the Marxist "liberator" in turn enslaving the revolutionaries, the Franciscan friar as the symbol of brotherly compassion. These views, plus his hatred of war and distrust of political panaceas, often brought his art into open conflict with the rhetoric of Rivera and the angry manifesto images of Siqueiros.

But the score, if well played, always...

Instead of pursuing a bilateral agreement with Russia which each side would distrust, the U.S. should put disarmament in the hands of an unbiased agency. The United Nations is the obvious administrator...
