...last week elected their next director, Claude Julien, 55. After a tutorial two years under present Director Jacques Fauvet, 66, Julien will take over the paper in 1982, serving as chief editor and publisher, a position of major influence in the Fifth Republic. Founded in 1944 by Hubert Beuve-M??ry, who was designated its first director by Charles de Gaulle, Le Monde is required daily reading for French government officials and diplomats around the world. Mixing first-rate reporting with a heavy dose of editorial opinion, Le Monde has managed to remain free of domination by any political party...

...great painters are precocious, but Picasso was. In a technical way, he was as much a prodigy as Mozart, and his precocity seems to have fixed his peculiar sense of vocation. He was born in M??laga in 1881, the son of a painter named José Ruiz Blasco (a fine-boned inglés face, nothing like Pablo's simian mask; that came from his mother), and by 13 he was so good at drawing that his father is said to have handed over his own brushes and paints to the boy and given up painting. If the story is true...

One American manufacturer that assembles stoves of comparable quality is a down-home outfit called Vermont Castings, Inc. Two unfounded foundrymen started the firm four years ago in tiny Randolph, Vt. Duncan Syme, 42, was a sculptor with an M.F.A. degree from Yale, and Murray Howell, 34, was a bar owner and construction worker. Their meticulously crafted Defiant and Vigilant models, designed in elegant Federal period lines and selling...
...project, with which he is "thrilled," is really a stage set. The Piazza d'ltalia fountain in New Orleans was commissioned as a celebratory space for the local Italian community. Moore dismissed all thought of "unitary" Tuscan directness and produced a razzmatazz design, a caprice resembling the gaudy, papier-m??ché fair sets of Sicilian festa decor: fragments of Roman and Renaissance buildings around an 80-ft.-long stone map of Italy, like the masterpiece of a megalomaniac pastry cook. A fountain spurts out of Moore's Sicily, and its water runs down in rivulets representing the Po, the Arno...
