...museum's curator, Kynaston McShine, who selected the paintings, unpretentiously bills his exhibit as an "airy, informal, summer exhibition of big, beautiful paintings." The show includes both abstract and representational art. Veteran Abstractionist Gene Davis sets the eye dancing in Phantom Tattoo with a 10-ft. by 19-ft. cascade of multicolored awning stripes. Ellsworth Kelly does three giant, economy-size rectangles of flat color (one each of red, yellow and blue) covering 89 sq. ft. Alfred Jensen's four-paneled impasto consists of dozens of big squares, little squares, houndstooth checks, checkerboards and signal flags...

They kept an eye on the U.S. base -and on its garbage dump, which they sometimes raided for supplies. Using discarded tools and old tires, they fashioned round, oversized sandals that both protected their feet and ingeniously disguised their footprints. Deciding that a cave was too obvious a hiding place, they slept under rudimentary...
...Theological Declaration of Barmen, like the Scots and Westminster Confession, involved politics. Barmen illustrates the importance of having an eye for the political and social issues that are close by whenever theological statements are made. Barmen, in Germany in 1934, was the meeting place of the first Synod of the Confessing Church. The Synod said Jesus Christ is the only Word of God that men are to hear, trust, and obey; the Synod condemned the suggestion that there might be any source for the church's proclamation other than revelation...
