...show (609 items), that runs through the summer at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The aim of "The Eye of Thomas Jefferson" is to sketch the cultural environments through which Jefferson moved. This is a pharaonic enterprise: pushed to its limit, the subject of such an exhibit might be nothing less than the whole of aristocratic and high bourgeois culture in Georgian England, America and France. Of course, no show could encompass (or even adequately sample) ah" that; so what there is, in essence, is a glamorous but uneven struggle to display cultural history as saga...
...this brisk defense of George III shows, the British still differ with the U.S. over what happened in 1776. But after 200 years, they are prepared to be good losers. One notable sign: the lavish pictorial exhibit celebrating their defeat that is currently on display at Greenwich's National Maritime Museum, where it is expected to attract more than 1 million visitors.

But the orientation of the VES Department and the artistic inhibition that seems to prevail, tempt one to ask, with the anonymous spray-can graffartisit whose work exhibits itself on the second-floor landing of Carpenter; "OU SONT LES POULETS D'ANTANT...
...with History, (recently translated into English) collects some of these controversial conversations--Fallaci's interviews have caused uproar on at least three continents--into one volume organized around the theme of the leader in history. The book contains 14 of the interviews Fallaci bagged between 1969 and 1974; on exhibit, in embarrassing nakedness, are the powerful from Henry Kissinger to Alexandros Panagoulis, a dialectical progression that includes Golda Meir and Yasir Arafat, Indira Gandhi and Ali Bhutto, Dom Helder Camera and Archbishop Makarios...
