...being converted into an instrument for countering civil disobedience and maintaining law and order." Noting Jaruzelski's past refusals to turn the military against the Polish people, other analysts doubted that he would do so now. Observed a U.S. State Department official: "Jaruzelski wanted to give a hint to the people-and the party-that he is in command, but it's no more than that." Jaruzelski is also thought to have another motive for using the army: the hope that some of the good will the Polish people feel toward their military (see box) will...

...book still maintains a hint of the political leanings that inspired its creation. The tone falls somewhere between wry-liberal and responsible-moderate, amiably contemptuous of extremists of the Right or Left. Barone himself says he has turned more conservative since the days of the Vietnam protests, but he still proudly describes himself as a Democrat.

...looks like a television situation comedy than a major feature film. Not only are the colors and backgrounds either washed-out or meaningless, but their lifelessness saps the movie of any feeling for the location or the era. Besides the old cars and wide-lapelled suits there is little hint of where or when the movie is taking place...

...test of political alignment for artists and intellectuals. It inspired the most famous political image in modern art, Guernica, and evoked some remarkable images from Spaniards other than Picasso, such as Salvador Dali and Joan Miró. Guernica could not be lent to this exhibition, although one gets some hint of the fervors from Miró's design for a poster, Aidez l'Espagne, and from Dali's hallucinated Cannibalisme d'Automne. But most of the work by French artists in support of the Republicans and the Popular Front now seems pedestrian; French painting...
