BERNARD LORJOU-Hutton, 787 Madison Ave. at 67th. A lively show by a Parisian who has, in a one-man war against abstractionism, engaged in fistfights and lawsuits with his critics and sent his large, figurative paintings floating down the Seine on a barge. In these 28 oils, his colors are as breathtaking as ever, but the bizarre brutality has been transformed into a fierce emotionalism. White and yellow cathedrals blaze against midnight blue, flowers sputter and spout like painted fireworks, and marionettes look out with sad-eyed plaintiveness. Through March...
...understanding and fondness for metal. His ham fists twist, snip and shear sheet metal into subtle forms that others can only hope to achieve in clay or marble. His latest works of iron are so heavy that his Paris gallery had to reinforce its floor with girders for a one-man Calder show last month...
...Agent" of the Yankees. The present scandal erupted when Petrobras President Albino Silva, 54, a peppery army general appointed last year, started a one-man campaign against corruption and Communist influence within the company. He stopped all hiring (8,000 new employees were added during the two preceding years), looked into shady dealings of Petrobras executives, twice blocked strikes approved by a Petrobras director, and cracked down sharply on lavish publicity spending.

Many are out-and-out team efforts, in which two or three fleet-footed (temporarily) "rabbits" are used to ensure a fast pace for the star. But O'Hara is a one-man team, and the N.Y.A.C. field was so-so at best. Nobody but O'Hara had ever run under 4 min. indoors, and North Carolina's Jim Beatty, the reigning record holder (at 3 min. 58.6 sec.), showed up only to wave at the crowd and fire the starter...
...fighting was at the western edge of the village, where the attacking Greeks had the cover of gnarled olive trees. In one mud-brick hut, where nine Turks had taken refuge, a window was blasted by a bazooka-type rocket, and the second floor literally sieved with bullet holes. In desperation, one Turkish shepherd tried to flee to the riverbed, but was cut down a few feet from the door. Another grabbed a pitchfork, made a futile, one-man assault on the Greek position, and was mowed down at once...
