Somebody Up There is not distributing the talent very evenly. While many an artist is going mad trying to make a loft and a set of oils stretch into a career, the Wyeth family of Chadds Ford, Pa., moves imperturbably into its third generation of artistic luster. A new show at Swarthmore College, near Philadelphia, lets viewers see the romantic illustrations of Grandfather N. C. Wyeth (1882-1945), the universal evocations of Father Andrew (TIME cover, Dec. 27) and the prodigal realism of Andrew's son James, who is only...

There, as natives pounded big sheepskin drums in noisy greeting, he handed out land deeds to 6,000 more peasant families...
...humiliating defeat for President Charles de Gaulle added no luster to his popular prestige, which, according to the latest report of the French Institute of Public Opinion, has suffered heavily since the strike began. Citing an "evident correlation" between De Gaulle's sagging curve and the strike, the poll-taking organization said that only 42% of the public was currently "satisfied" with his handling of the presidency, compared with 55% in March and 64% in January...
