...military equipment, especially sophisticated communications gear and helicopters. The U.S. justifies the dispatch of instructors as necessary to help the Salvadorans make good use of the new equipment. Finally, Administration officials concede, the advisers comprise a "highly visible" sign of the Reagan Administration's determination to fight Communist "indirect armed aggression...
...leftist guerrillas are not backed by a force the size of the North Vietnamese army. Nonetheless, President Ronald Reagan and Secretary of State Alexander Haig have invested high stakes in a guerrilla war in a republic the size of Massachusetts. By waging a campaign against "indirect armed aggression" of foreign Communists who are smuggling arms to El Salvador's leftist guerrillas, the Reagan Administration is signaling to the world that a line is being drawn against Soviet expansionism.

Peter Frank, the Guggenheim's guest curator, who has a marked taste for indirect and elliptical art, has also included an interesting painter from New Orleans, Jim Richard, 37. Richard's deadpan views of Southern suburbia do not justify Frank's claim that they possess "the most astoundingly lambent light this side of a Caspar David Friedrich sunset." That must...
