...tranquility and life enacted in unanalyzed violence. The analysts are always there, narrating the actions of others. Sometimes we see bright and uncomfortable close-ups of their faces (usually minus the tops of their heads) as they clinically pick apart and piece together the puzzle of Vietnam. Paul Mus, Professor of Buddhism at Yale, lounges in his living room chair beside a hi-fi speaker and Oriental trinkets and dramatically recreates his contact with Ho. Meanwhile, back where everything is what it is, Ho exhorts a loving crowd to keep the faith...
...plot of the scandal is triangular, and the third party was handsome, mus cular Stevan ("the Bull") Markovic, a 31-year-old Serb who worked for Alain as a combination valet, bodyguard and friend.

Despite the rules, hosts sometimes leave arm-in-arm with their clients at closing time. "Ladies have just as much right as men to decide what to do for the rest...
This summer, marking the centenary of Vuillard's birth, Paris' Musée de L'Orangerie has mounted a retrospective of his works (see color opposite), which are displayed along with those of his brother-in-law and lifelong friend, Ker-Xavier Roussel. Both were contributors to the mighty explosion that was impressionism, but their visual worlds were quite different. Vuillard was essentially a realist, a chronicler of bourgeois life. Roussel, with his nymphs and gods, was a dreamer, trying to transplant classical Greece into the French landscape...
