...Schwitters, representing the Dada school, created in contemptuous revolt against established canons of aesthetics, should appear at Busch-Reisinger this month as a champion of those very values. Gathering bits and scraps of color and print in the form of collages, Schwitters manipulates a poetic play of shape and hue, charming, intimate, yet positive and aesthetically unequivocal.

CIA and embassy officials quietly went to work. U.S. and Italian employees at the villa and the embassy were quickly investigated. No individual who had any close contact with the ambassador seemed even remotely a suspect...
