...growing population? Not India and not Communist China. The population explosion is strongest in tropical South America-a 5,300,000-sq.-mi. area encompassing Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, and the three Guianas, British, Dutch and French (see map). According to the Population Reference Bureau, an independent, nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C., these nine countries are growing at an average rate of 3.2% each year, compared with about 2% for India and Red China. At cur rent rates, their 121 million population will double by 1986; in 100 years something like 3.8 billion people will be fighting...

...Francois Boucher's rose damask Gobelins commissioned by Louis XVI, an abundance of porcelains, sculpture, antique furniture, and a rare 4,000-book art library. None of the treasures will go under the hammer or into Norton Simon's private collection. Instead, Simon's separate nonprofit educational foundation plans to lend or give works to worthy U.S. museums, most notably the soon to be completed Los Angeles County Museum...
...medieval alchemist's sign for stone. Today it is the trademark, or "chop," as printmakers call it, of the Tamarind Lithography Workshop, a modern, scientific, and rather messianic attempt to revive the making of graphic art from stone. As the Los Angeles-based, nonprofit workshop prepared to print its chop last week on the 1,000th litho created there since its beginning four years ago, it seemed to mark the rebirth of an art form lately thought inferior to painting because of its duplication by mechanical means...
