...cool, hard, brightly colored figures gesturing like stagecraft as he recounted his fables. The narrative content of his art instantly made him a mentor for dull academic followers who found cartooning easier than esthetics. But he alone knew how to manifest the inward emotions of his mythical people in outward physical postures. While Narcissus, for example, gazes in the rapturous vanity of youth at his own reflection in a pool, his forgotten lover Echo, is depicted in ashen tones and fuzzy contours, as if evaporating from neglect...

...replace Ambassador Edwin Reischauer in Japan before fall-Mrs. Johnson has already measured the Tokyo embassy windows for curtains-so that Reischauer can return to Harvard, which has offered him a newly created chair in Far Eastern politics. David Bell, head of the Agency for International Development, is also outward bound, most likely will join Bundy at the Ford Foundation after the current foreign-aid bill has been convoyed through Congress...
