...sick and tired of all that purity! I wanted to tell stories!" Thus Philip Guston, whose tremulous gestural paintings established him, from 1951 onward, as one of the leading Abstract Expressionists. His current show at Manhattan's Marlborough Gallery is indeed a change. The old Guston is barely recognizable. The patches and drifts of color, tentatively knitted rather than brushed-like magnified details of a Monet seen through gray glass-have gone...
Gilday took the driver's seat and sped onward toward New Hampshire. The chase began again with police finding and losing their suspect. Again at speeds over 100, Gilday raced down the back roads, often sliding off onto the shoulder and spinning back on.

...friendship between former Senator George A. Smothers and President John F. Kennedy was firm, but often tried. Cuba was the toughest trial, as newly opened documents at the John F.

Echeverría, who served as Minister of the Interior throughout Diaz Ordaz's six-year term, promised a government that would be "neither to the right nor to the left, but upward and onward." Initially, he struck observers as a competent machine politician. Now they are not so sure. His tireless stumping, plus the fact that he is the father of eight, persuaded many Mexicans that Echeverría possesses what might be called "macharismo"-the requisite Latin American machismo mixed with political charisma. Dressed casually wherever he went, he dined with peasant families, spoke informally about national...
