Behrendt's cartoon was memorable-but in fact, the eagle, the lion, the lamb and the bear were far from harmonizing about peace on earth. And it was a gloomy day when President John Kennedy arrived in Bermuda last week for his fourth series of somber talks this year with Britain's Harold Macmillan. Sitting in Hamilton's pale pink Government House. Kennedy and Macmillan conversed for as long as five hours at a stretch-with only a few minutes out for tea-but. inevitably, they were able to produce little in the way of hard solutions...
...Lion Sleeps Tonight (The Tokens; RCA Victor). A hit comprehensible only to the darkling adolescent ear. One of the nation's top singles, evolved partly from a South African chant, it warns in its insistent, dronelike way of a lion lurking near the village-but "Hush, my darling / Don't fear, my darling / The lion sleeps tonight."

Soft as a lion-pad I heard the gun-carriages turn, saw them vomit and drool; the firmament sagged and all the stars turned black. Black ocean bleeding and the brooding stars breeding chunks of fresh-swelled flesh while overhead the birds wheeled and out of the hallucinated sky fell the balance with mortar and pestle and the bandaged eyes of justice.

"If they don't like me," Grant once said, "they can fire me." Last week, though, the Journal was struggling through the first strike...
...Minister of Culture André Malraux and begun this year in the superb volume Sumer: The Dawn of Art (TIME, June 2), is continued with an equally lavish book on Assyria. The grim, skilled art of the warrior peoples who fought in the Mesopotamian valleys-it includes magnificent lion hunts as well as gloomy strings of captives-has never been presented better. Familiar bas-reliefs are well done in black and white, and quite unfamiliar wall paintings are reproduced, for the first time in any book, in excellent color. The moody, beautifully tinted paintings were discovered and copied...
