...meetings were broken off by the Chinese, whose foreign office had almost ceased to function as a result of the ravages of Mao Tse-tung's Cultural Revolution. In 1966-67, Peking recalled its ambassadors from all over the world. Even now it has replaced only one in Eastern Europe-in Rumania, which has remained neutral in the Sino-Soviet quarrel. Late last year, presumably in a test of the new Nixon Administration, the Chinese agreed to a single meeting in Warsaw in February, only to cancel it abruptly after a Chinese diplomat in Holland defected...
...humanism and the young's denial-may yet fuse. How? The Paris Biennale offers only the most tantalizing hints. This looks like the beginning of the decade of the art group: from the U.S., from France, from Cuba, Canada, Eastern Europe, well over half the work that the young sent to Paris was created by teams.

The Pig Bowl was also, in a small way, a victory for reason and humor. The Goats were none other than the police of Ann Arbor, and the Pigs were the Washtenaw County sheriff's deputies, who know how to put an epithet...
...their hold over Eastern Europe, the Soviets might eventually repeat the Czechoslovak pattern and invade other countries in the area, notably Rumania. Still, Communism is dead as a unifying ideology. In the '70s, the splintering trend will intensify; there may be four or five-or more-Communist movements, with headquarters in Moscow, Peking, Havana, Belgrade and possibly Bucharest...
