Ultimately an arms limitation agreement rests on two fundamental principles: a mutual integrity of intention and a readiness to sacrifice the necessary fraction of one's own sovereignty. Since neither the Soviet leadership nor the Nixon administration seems to understand these principles the burden now falls on the Congress. Only Congress can stop the vicious cycle created by the "bargaining chips" policy by stopping new arms production.

Their aloof and rigorous art could never have been a popular recipe; but allowing for that, and for the fact that they labored beneath the almost overpowering shadow of Mondrian himself, the silence about such pioneers is still remarkable. For though the public did not look closely or often at their work, later artists did; the "mondrianists" were one of the secret influences on 1960s...
