...SHEPHERDS. The scene fairly breathes piety and tranquillity. Indeed, the painting is one of the most popular masterpieces owned by Washington's National Gallery. Yet the question of who did it is surrounded by acrimony. Art Dealer Joseph Duveen and Critic Bernard Berenson broke off their friendship after an argument over whether it is by Giorgione or by his protégé, Titian. The scarcity of Giorgione's work compounds the problem. He died in his early 30s, and left behind only six or seven paintings. Thus, when Duveen bought The Adoration, he preferred to think...
...Friendship Pact. After a press conference later that morning, Ulbricht took off for home. Once he was aloft, the crowd of Czechoslovaks that had dutifully gathered at the airport to wave the East German boss on his way erupted into a demonstration of joy-and relief. They mobbed Dubcek, Premier Oldrich Cernik and Presidium Member Josef Smrkovsky. The Czechoslovak leaders responded by signing autographs, slapping backs and bussing the pretty girls. At one point, Dubcek grabbed Smrkovsky and turned his face to the crowd so that the people could see the lipstick smears...
...reception in his honor, Ceausescu cornered the Soviet Ambassador to Prague, Stepan Chervonenko. In full earshot of other guests, he gave the Russian a 30-minute lecture on the evils of interfering in other countries' affairs.

When Roussel enrolled with an art teacher, Vuillard decided that he also wanted to be a painter, and succeeded in enrolling at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. Unhappy with its rigid academicism, he transferred to the somewhat freer atmosphere of the Academic Julian, where he met Bonnard, Maurice Denis and Vallotton. Calling themselves the Nabis (Hebrew for prophets), they formed a group to perpetuate Gauguin's theories on painting, Mallarme's on poetry. "To name an object...
...work the shattering of middle-class shibboleths, seeks a solution to the problem in an almost belligerently bourgeois codification of behavior. It is his version of situation ethics. Three elements should be present, he says, before society bestows its approval on premarital sex: 1) "That a deep friendship based upon substantial acquaintance exists between the man and the girl," 2) "That both are out of high school; and if college is planned, that they have completed the first year of college if they are still teen-agers," and 3) "That they hope to marry, and their best friends know...
