Esthetics was not all that Dubuffet was out to destroy. He also wanted to jolt traditional ideas of time and space. If he painted a woman, she became all women, the archetype. Often she would have the appearance of a squooshy polyp who was not only a mass of flesh and viscera but also a piece of geology-a part of history, a part of the earth. As for scale, Dubuffet would have none of it. A painting could be both a vast landscape and at the same time a tiny patch of dust seen through a microscope...
...were forced to the conclusion that no chemical had been used to induce mummification; rather, by a "freak of chance," warm air from below the floor, flowing through cracks in the door and out a trap door at the top of the closet, had stopped the normal decay of flesh a few days after death. What was the cause of death? Looking close, Dr. Evans spotted traces of fabric embedded in grooves around the neck. It was the remnant of a length of woman's stocking. At its end was a reef knot, twisted tightly...

He is under the sharpest attack since he returned to power in 1958. In trying to settle the Algeria problem, he has not finally quelled the discontent in the restive army, and now pressures are rising in France-from political parties, trade unions and intellectuals-to start political and military talks with the Algerians at once, without waiting, as De Gaulle once insisted...
...compressor chamber of the No. 1 engine, investigators found what they were looking for: bits of flesh and feathers from starlings. Starling remains were also found in the No. 2 engine; the innards of No. 3 and No. 4 had not yet been examined. But flesh-eating crabs were found in the nacelles of all four engines, suggesting that they had been scavenging starling remains...
