...Patriarch of Venice could hardly believe his eyes when he put on the trick spectacles at the prizewinning display of Argentina's Julio Le Pare, 38, at the Venice Biennale last summer. In front of the eyeholes loomed shiny flaps of metal reflecting his own disbelief. Argentine military brass, puffed out with pride that their countryman had won the Grand Prix for painting, deflated with astonishment when they stood in front of one of Le Fare's "paintings"-a long sheet of shiny metal that captured their own images, then freakishly elongated them as they pressed the foot...
Cheating Cheaters. As far as the young and adventurous are concerned, Julio Le Pare sums up what is happening in art. How seriously they take him is a question that doesn't bother Le Pare at all. He describes his own work as "a labyrinth, a fun house, a release from the conventional, uncomfortable world." He is all against the high seriousness with which critics and museums surround works of art. "Rather than take my art seriously," he explains, "the spectator should laugh when he enters the room." The cream of the jest Le Pare generally keeps to himself...
...machinist's son, young Julio entered the Buenos Aires Academy of Fine Arts at 15, evolved from naturalistic painter into op artist under the influence of the works of Klee, Mondrian and Vasarely. He emigrated to Paris in 1958 and two years later, with a handful of other young Parisian artists, formed the highly experimental Groupe de Recherche dArt Visuel.

His father had been defeated in a congressional election by Julio Nalundasan, a sharp-tongued Nacionalista who had insulted Mariano fiercely during the course of the campaign. To Filipinos, insults cannot go unanswered. On a stormy, wind-whipped night shortly after Pistol Champion Ferdie Marcos had returned to Ilocos on vacation, Nalundasan rose from his dinner table and walked to a washbasin. He was starkly silhouetted in the lighted window. A single .22-cal. bullet cracked in the banana tree outside, and Nalundasan dropped dead, shot...
...auto near the town of La Fragua, 55 miles from the capital, and shot by Communist terrorists as "an enemy of the people." Such killings are the trademark of Luis Turcios Lima, 24, a former Guatemalan army officer who leads a daring band of 250 terrorists. Though President Julio Cesar Mendez Montenegro has offered the guerrillas an amnesty ever since he took over last May from the military regime of Colonel Enrique Peralta, they refused to lay down their arms...
