...choreography of Merce Cunningham is to dancing what nonobjectivity is to painting or atonality to music. His work is total abstraction, es chewing the cliches and conventions of gesture, costume and music by which both ballet and modern dance seek to evoke moods, emotions and dramatic climaxes. Whatever emotions Cunningham's audiences feel are entirely in dividual. The same movement or interplay of bodies might engender fear in one person and laughter in another-and that is the way it is meant...
Obviously embarrassed by such disorder on the eve of Viet Nam peace talks, Charles de Gaulle warned that further violence would not be tolerated. Yet the clashes continued: 30,000 students marched up the Champs Elysées to the Arc de Triomphe, singing the Communist Internationale on the way. By midweek, student strikes and demonstrations had spread to a dozen provincial cities, and even high school pupils picketed in large numbers to demand the release of 100 jailed rioters.

...kaleidoscopic colors of an oriental bazaar swirled through London's normally drab Heathrow Airport. Clutching bundles bulging with everything from jars of curry powder to television sets, turbaned men, sari-clad women and coffee-tinted youngsters stepped off planes from such diverse points as Cairo, Dar-es-Salaam and Athens. Most of their journeys began in Kenya, where they had sold their businesses at panic prices, paid scalpers' ransom rates for airline tickets and grabbed planes to any place that offered hope of a connecting flight to Britain.
