...eventually triggers Five's disgrace. Bloody Five's bravura balances Galy's passive foolishness. As surely as the latter metamorphoses into the army beast, the former weakens and falls. It's grim stuff of which to make laughter, and the comedy does become pretty sinister. Brecht mines the parallel veins of humor and despair, and the production succeeds in emulating him--almost...
...other Administration foes saw it, the President was making a summation to the blue-collar jury. In praising the old values of diligence and thrift, he was really advising the blacks, in code language, to go and do likewise. He was asking the nearly impossible. The black has no parallel; he is neither stolid native nor willing immigrant. No historian, presidential or otherwise, can undo 300 years of social damage with the simple-minded caveat "America-Love It or Leave...
There are other, less troublesome items on the Paris agenda. The negotiators must agree on the coordination of a truce in South Viet Nam with parallel cease-fires in Laos and Cambodia. They must also settle on a site for the multi-nation "guarantee conference" that is supposed to convene within 30 days to deal with the larger problems of peace in Viet Nam and presumably the rest of Indochina as well. Paris is questionable as a site because Saigon feels that France is partial to the North Vietnamese; Geneva is out, since Hanoi has bitter memories of the city...

By next fall, both Germanys can become full-fledged members of the United Nations,*which neither could join so long as the status of East Germany remained unsettled...
...porch shadows what art, if any, he may have seen to create such an interest in clean, abstract imagery, yet his association in these early times with such American artists as John Martin. Georgia O'Keefe, Charles Sheeler, and Marsden Hartley testifies to his following of this parallel art world and its influence is seen plainly in other works. The MFA has eloquently pointed out these connections with its juxtapositions of actual oils, drawings and sculpture by these artists. One of the most exciting comparisons is between Georgia O'Keefe's oil from 1953 at "Abiquiu Trees" and Strand...
