...runway-"like shooting down a bowling alley," as one of the gunners put it. As the Viet Cong, 30 and 40 at a time, tried to sprint across the strip, the big howitzer shells exploded in their midst. The gunners fired off 575 rounds during the battle, blistering the paint on the lone gun's barrel. Helicopter gunships laced the Viet Cong from above with their mini-guns, and Air Force jets made one screaming run after another, dropping anti-personnel bombs. The few Viet Cong who survived the lethal gauntlet to reach the strip's west side...
...trying to paint the life force of a thing," says Australian-born Brett Whiteley. "There has always been a sense of violence in my work." There has also been a strong strain of sensuality. Three years ago, at the age of 25, Whiteley established himself in the vanguard of young London painters (TIME, Oct. 9, 1964) with one Baconesque series of 25 paintings, all showing his pretty young wife nude in the bath, plus another series depicting the passionate antics of Sex Murderer John Christie.

And Houston's University of St. Thomas Art Gallery put on view 147 designs by three farsighted 18th century French architects, one of whom envisioned a gargantuan stadium with seven times the capacity of the 45,000-seat Houston Astrodome...
...directorial help from such top Broadway professionals as Arthur Penn and Joe Layton. Justifiably proud of their mimetic skills, the actors are living proof, on stage at least, that a word in the hand may sometimes be worth two in the mouth.
