...paintings by Hans Hofmann-a bequest to the museum from his estate-or down to the free exhibition space on areas below. The floors are broken but connected by ramps, so that viewers move slowly downward through a constantly shifting interior, accented by promontories of raw concrete that jut over the halls like ships' prows. Says Director Peter Selz: "You devise ways and means of installing an exhibit to detain people, to keep them from moving on. Here we made cul-de-sacs and all kinds of things to keep people in front of a painting." Selz...
Mailer's easy verbal facility made listening to him hard work: required a mental mountain goat to jump from this theoretical jut to that craggy intellectual ledge. Styron was easier listening: he told you anecdotes in the familiar idioms of home, and you could rest during his pauses for verbal regroupings: he had the virtue of relaxing you more-though when you reached your bed it likely would be Mailer's words that nagged and clanged and rumbled hotly through your mind. Had Heaven planted them as religious saplings, Mailer might have grown into Elmer Gantry or have taken...

The next day he joined TIME Correspondent Burton Pines in a rented car headed for Parrot's Beak, a jut of Cambodia that cuts into South Viet Nam about 40 miles west of Saigon.

The bar, dining room and lobby are visible to one another and, wherever possible, the architects have avoided staircases in favor of tilted floors. Near by, Les Hauts-Forts contains apartments, hotels...
...Port Winston, the Allies' huge artificial harbor of 115 ferro-concrete caissons, each weighing 6,000 tons. Through Winston the Allies funneled 2,500,000 troops, half a million vehicles and 4,000,000 tons of supplies in the eight months after Dday. Only 40 of the caissons jut above the water now, roosting places for seagulls and shadow sanctuaries for schools of fish. In July and August, vacationers swell the town's population of 340 to ten times that; the rest of the year Arromanches lives with memory. A few miles down the coast, at the Pointe...
