...much is that divine Dufy?" queries a lady sipping white wine slowly from a clear plastic cup. The painting in question is Raoul Dufy's "Le Palmier, Pension Sevigne" and the price high in the thousands. There are half-laughs in the lady's party, and they move on to "a more affordable fantasy," a $2,700 Binet. As you walk away toward Copley Square, the gallery looks like a three dimensional version of one of its pictures. There is the same dichotomy between the warm, brightly lit, glass-walled room and you (heading in the falling-dark...

Its first major move was the introduction of troops in 1969 to quell rioting, particularly of the Protestants, who were gearing up for full-scale violence...

This, then, is the dilemma of the British presence in Ulster. In the Protestant communities, any move by the British government to impose and then maintain a dimunition of Protestant power will be opposed, perhaps violently. The army, which until now has been strongly supported by the Protestants, may be in the difficult position of opposing them and losing their support--though that does not imply that they question at all the link with Britain.
