...staff. Shoved into windowless cubbyholes for offices, they keep electric fans running year-round to circulate the air. One darkroom, a converted closet, is so small that Chief Printer Anthony Allen "won't let anyone stay in there more than a quarter-hour." Corrugated iron roofing stift hides crumbling wreckage untouched since Nazi bombardiers blitzed London 27 years ago.

A catalogue includes four readable introductions by scholars on "The Art of Anatolia Until 1200 B.C.," "Early Iron Age, Classical and Roman Empire," "The Byzantine Period," and "The Islamic."

...unemotional chronicle of how Americans evicted Ben Sue's 3,500 peasants at gunpoint last January and demolished their homes in an effort to clear the area of guerrillas. He flew in with the G.I.s to Ben Sue, on the edge of the Viet Cong's Iron Triangle stronghold 30 miles northwest of Saigon; then he followed the uprooted villagers to a bleak camp behind barbed wire. He paints a picture of unremitting misery inspired by wanton cruelty-but he elects to omit details that would have colored it differently. For example, he has admitted to knowing that...
