...Europeans are fearful that the U.S. plans to make further cuts in its 210,000-man troop level in West Germany; they consider airlifts from the U.S. no substitute for forces permanently based on European soil. No one pretends, however, that ground forces are anything but a first line of defense for Western Europe?especially now that the Soviets have more troops in Eastern Europe, and closer to the West's defense perimeter, than at any time since 1945. The Czechoslovak experience cast grave doubt on the once-fashionable doctrine of graduated response. Behind the troops must...
...fortyish Manhattan divorcee who went to Paris last year with her two small daughters and may not find it safe to come back. For she practices a kind of art that has made her one of the less popular artists in Manhattan. Sturtevant's thing is line-for-line copies of virtually every top pop painter and sculptor. She has "done" Segal, Wesselmann, Oldenburg, Stella, Johns, Lichtenstein, Rosenquist and Warhol with such loving cunning and accomplished accuracy that she makes them all look slightly ridiculous. If the ideal of pop is to reproduce banality literally, then Sturtevant has carried...
...even malicious comments about the nature of art and its relation to reality. John Clem Clarke's stylized version of Frans Hals' "St. Adrian Militia Company," which hangs in a downtown Manhattan bar (above, with artist seated second from the left), is surrounded by a white line so that the staid, 17th century Dutchmen appear to be figures on a television screen.

Novak (the saturnine-looking one) observed that Democratic National Chairman Fred Harris was "trying to carry water on both shoulders" in discussing whether the old-line politicians or the hew black groups should represent the party in Georgia. After CORE Director Roy Innis had left, Evans curtly dismissed his proposals for separation of the races. "I think," he said, "that Mr. Innis' basic racial philosophy makes very little sense. I don't see how it could work." Secretary of Housing and Urban Development George Romney got off easily, as did Presidential Assistant Daniel P. Moynihan. "Bob," Evans said...
...best of the novellas is a strong and subtle study of growing old. In an anguished narration, a literary woman of 60 (Novelist de Beauvoir is 61) watches herself deteriorate into shrewish fury as her stable world shifts and then resettles, diminished, along the fault line of age. She realizes, at first only with impatience, that her husband is willfully allowing himself to become old. Nothing interests him. He is a respected scientist, but he says he has not had a fresh idea in 15 years, and he repeats the aphorism that "Great scientists are valuable to science...
