...Nixon's Secret Agent" (Feb. 7, 1972), Man of the Year (with Nixon, Jan. 1, 1973) and, on his elevation to Cabinet rank, "The Super Secretary" (Sept. 3, 1973). Just two months ago (April 1), he was pictured as "The Great Kissinger," a magician conjuring up a dove of peace. "[He] has done the seemingly miraculous for so long," TIME wrote, "that it has become almost routine." Yet his hardest task still lay ahead, and last week it was far from certain that it could be accomplished. Then, confirming the view of himself as the consummate political prestidigitator...
...misleading. Henning is a master illusionist. Traditionally, he saws a woman in half, and the boxed halves are trolleyed on-and offstage during a good part of the evening. A man has a sword thrust through his middle. A woman is burned to a smoldering crisp. Instantaneously, a live dove becomes a live rabbit. At the whisk of a drape, a girl in a cage is transformed into a young cougar...
...claimants to the honor of having produced the first deliberately abstract works of art. His wavy-edged pastel, Abstraction After a Stained-Glass Window in the Cluny Museum, dates from 1900, fully a decade before the mutual creation of abstract art by Larionov, Kupka, Kandinsky and Arthur Dove.

After his early apprenticeship with Gauguin's disciples in the Pont-Aven group, he never lost his interest in broad, ripe patternings of color.

...people did not, Reston did. Vietnam became a private war for him. His hawk-self wrestled with his dove-self. The hawk-self feared communist expansion and thus supported the original premise of the conflict ("The original American policy in Vietnam was far easier to understand than the present one"--December 1, 1965 column). But the dove-self saw the wanton destruction of human lives ("How many more men and planes can we send there without turning the war into an American war and destroying the country we are trying to save?"--same column...
...Reston's dove-self won out, although he maintained an unshakable dislike of communism. Nixon's promises to end the war did not restore Reston's lost faith in America's Vietnam policy. When Nixon carpet-bombed North Vietnam at Christmas 1972, Reston wrote, "This is war by tantrum" (column, Dec. 26, 1972). In a news analysis written the day after the cease-fire agreement on Jan. 23, 1973, Reston again lamented the loss of America's innocence. "The guess here is that it will take some time to restore the self-confidence of the pre-Vietnam years...
