...Like the alcoholic who takes his little glass in the morning," the old man once said, "I take up my brushes." Though frail, Georges Braque still takes up his brushes each morning in his Paris studio near the Pare de Montsouris. He may work standing for a while; more often, he sits grandly on a divan and calls for his brushes and colors like a surgeon calling for his scalpels and clamps. This week he will be 80-the same age as his ebullient former partner, Pablo Picasso...

Kennedy's key proposals: FREIGHT RATES. The ICC could no longer set minimum rates, only maximum rates. At present, the commission firmly fixes...
France's De Gaulle sent a delegation headed by his trusted Algerian Affairs Minister, Louis Joxe. The F.L.N. delegation was headed by Vice Premier Belkacem Krim, a former French army noncom.

Eastern has plenty of reasons for considering a marriage. Last year it accounted for an estimated $5,400,000 of the industry's overall loss of $30 million. By merging, Eastern could pare payrolls, eliminate duplicate ground facilities, and cut the costly competition that on some routes is the prime cause of its losses. Despite its red-ink balance sheet, Eastern offers an attractive dowry: 1) the biggest route system in the eastern U.S., 2) the best on-time performance in the industry, and 3) a savvy president, Malcolm MacIntyre, 53, a lawyer who was brought to Eastern...
