After five weeks of plying the Ozarks' chicken-fry circuit in the same $3 drip-dry sports shirt and rumpled slacks, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee donned a dark suit, striped tie, and vest and headed back to Washington. With 53% of the vote against a field of three opponents, J. William Fulbright had handily won renomination. Chewing laconically on a stick of Spearmint, he allowed: "I wasn't surprised. I had faith in the people of Arkansas...
Boasting qualities that are superior to the most luxurious silk fabrics, Qiana gives all the appearance of silk-from the luster of its surface yarn to its light weight, drape and color. Added to this, exotic sounding Qiana-a computerized combination of random letters-is a practical drip-dry wonder that can be machine-washed and still resist wrinkles...
...works joke about the gallery scene. On the floor repose a dozen constructions made of impure but somehow weirdly poetic materials: rope, rocks, logs, old felt and even a few potatoes.

Faithful customers, who range from Europe's nobility to Actor Peter Sellers, will still receive the same tender care they have learned to expect from CIGA employees. At Rome...
Nonetheless, as examples of early work by these abstract expressionists and the pop artists on display at the Modern suggest, more was assimilated from the surrealists and Dadaists than mere assemblage and drip. Common to all of the work in the exhibit is a poetry and passion, gaiety and humanism totally foreign to the dry logic of cubism and to the pure, impersonal geometric abstractions that developed directly out of it in Europe. The camera may well have deprived painting of its reason for being by surpassing it in the portrayal of objective reality. Dada and surrealism, however, made...
