Although a number of think tank types participated in the historical analysis that produced the Pentagon Papers, their findings make clear that the formulation of actual policy was firmly in the hands of elected and appointed officials, not RAND consultants. And in no sense was RAND the "developer" of Air Force participation in the war. That honor goes to the Air Force, the Department of Defense and the White House, Certainly RAND is implicated, but along with "improved" methods of Air Force operation in Vietnam...

A proud Kubrick tells his interviewers how people may come to identify with McDowell as they do with Crookback in Richard III. But both Shakespeare and the original Burgess novel obviously present...
...exit from the galleries housing the exhibition Picasso in the Collection of the Museum of Modern Art hand three sketches. They are portraits of Honore de Balzac, a writer whose work Picasso has illustrated, a literary figure who in trying to encompass la comedie humaine in his novels inspired Picasso to a similar undertaking in art. Perhaps if these studies had been placed at the entrance to the show, they would have served as a hint to make this anniversary retrospective more all-inclusive
