...This is it-the face of the era," wrote the reviewer in the Israeli newspaper al Hamishmar. "All the greats are collected there-Jackie Kennedy next to Ho Chi Minh, Churchill rubbing shoulders with Maria Callas and Golda next to Nasser." The event described was an exhibition of 40 TIME cover paintings, and Golda herself was there to peer at her own portrait by Boris Chaliapin. The exhibition has been seen in seven countries. Last week it opened at the U.S. Cultural Center in Madrid. The critics on the whole have been approving, although some have taken an occasional...

Both men have strong loyalties to Hanoi: Kaysone's father was Vietnamese, while Nouhak is reportedly a protege of Ho Chi Minh's. It remains to be seen whether they will try to turn sleepy Laos into a miniversion of monolithic North Viet Nam, or whether this little country will remain open to the West-a "Communist Liechtenstein," as one observer puts it, in the midst of Indochina...
