...Gaulle's increasing amiability toward Spain has been rewarded by Franco's jailing of six top anti-Gaullist terrorists who were hiding out in Spain. Banning the Stalingrad show may just possibly have been repaid last week when German police failed to prevent mysterious French agents in Munich from kidnaping a top S.A.O. leader, Antoine Argoud (see below). But it seemed unlikely that Khrushchev would care greatly if Nureyev danced in Paris, or that Adenauer would object to being damned by Nikita on TV.

Wolfgang and his troupe moved their instruments into the splendors of the Herkulessaal, disappeared behind the screen of organ pipes, and played through Bach's Art of the Fugue, the final composition of his life and a showcase of his innermost contemplations on polyphonal theory.

...show at the Guggenheim was put together mainly from the museum's own impressive collection of Kandinskys, from the Gabriele Münter Foundation of the Stadtische Galerie in Munich (which now owns the Kandinskys collected by his pupil and onetime beloved, Painter Gabriele Münter), and the collection of Nina Kandinsky, the artist's widow, who lives in France. But Director Thomas Messer pulled off an even more impressive coup of roundupmanship: with the help of Mme. Kandinsky and Paris' Musée National d'Art Moderne, he engineered delicate negotiations with Moscow, bringing...
