Nowhere is felt the heavy hand of alist realism". Rather there is careful attention to realistic detail, as in the first long shot of the old country house--with its peeling paint, creaking doors and evanescent charm. Even the interjection of pictures of denuded forest lands and starving children are in context. They portray the stark contrasts between the idle gentry and the destitute peasantry which underly Chekhov's sense of a passing...
LAWRENCE F. O'BRIEN. The party's national chairman will also likely be the convention chairman, a chore for which he volunteered. O'Brien, 55, a shrewd, talented political dealer and insider in both the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations, has been a focal paint in his party's comeback from the 1968 debacle, shepherding the Democrats toward party reform and modernization of convention rules, holding the line on financial and emotional expenditure during the primary fights of the campaign year. O'Brien would be a key broker and troubleshooter in case the convention finds itself...
...pictures he took out of Russia last month. Titov and his wife -both members of a group called the "Democratic Movement"-had departed Moscow only after "it became ab-olutely impossible for us to live there any longer," and had insisted on taking the pictures with them.

"Could you hear me back there?" he asked worriedly. "Sometimes," was the consensus. Williams' verdict: "It was excruciating. I never want to do it again...
...middle 1960s, New York critics were apt to brandish the lordly assumption that everything painted west of Manhattan was provincial and therefore insignificant. It had not been dipped in the rolling Jordan of "the mainstream." When the work of California artists refuted this, the position shifted: now there was a New York-Los Angeles axis, but everywhere else I a vacuum. An exhibition is currently on view at Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art that attacks this generalization too. "Chicago Imagist Art," a grab bag of work by 28 painters and sculptors, moves to the New York Cultural Center...
