...only a battle was won in a war that knows no boundaries. The international links of modern terrorism were revealed for the world to see when the Lufthansa skyjackers?apparently Palestinians, although their real names are still not known???proclaimed solidarity with West German terrorists who had kidnaped Industrialist Hanns-Martin Schleyer on Sept. 5. Within two days after the bold rescue mission, Schleyer's body was found in the trunk of an abandoned car in the French town of Mulhouse. In a warning to governments everywhere, his killers sent a message to the far-left Paris daily Liberation...
...embedding a kind of ironic lechery in his images?the supreme example being Monogram, 1959. Monogram remains the most notorious of Rauschenberg's combines: a stuffed Angora goat, girdled with a tire. The title is self-fulfilling?it is Rauschenberg's monogram, the sign by which he is best known???but why did it become so famous?

That meant he would have had to overlook a reflector arrow pointing the way to the ferry, and longtime residents say that all of the Kennedy brothers knew?or should have known???the area very well. The question arises: Could the Senator have traveled six-tenths of a mile down an unpaved road without knowing that he was on the wrong course? Or was he knowingly heading for the beach...
...probably never even occurred to Johnson that his friend's elevation to the high court would make him any less a presidential adviser. And, to date, it has not. Though the full extent of Fortas' influence will probably never be known???he vows never to write memoirs or leave important papers for nosy historians?he has been witness to nearly every great decision that Johnson has made. "Abe was usually called in on the real knotty problems," says one former White House aide, "the ones to which there are no hard answers...
