Prophetic Approaches. In the long run, the other technique of "automatist" surrealism proved more revolutionary and durable. As practiced by Joan Miro, André Masson, Max Ernst and Roberto Matta, automatism relied on the unconscious to direct the pen, pencil, brush or tube of glue. "Rather than setting out to paint something," said Miró, "I begin, and as I paint, the picture begins to assert itself." Landscape with Rooster, one of a dozen outsize, uninhibited Mirós on display, illustrates the antic, fanciful contours that result...
...California, Durrell was staying at the Pacific Palisades home of Novelist Henry Miller, an old friend and compulsive pen pal. Pursuing his investigations of Western culture, he played ping-pong with Miller and visited Disneyland, where he made three trips on the Mark Twain paddlewheeler and took the "Submarine Voyage."

Chayefsky's latest work, The Latent Heterosexual, which opened at the Dallas Theater Center last week, is an unsuccessful attempt to weld the two Paddys. But the amusing eye-catcher...
With that bit of hedging, the Secretary announced that the Army would start a special school in civil disorders for ranking Guardsmen later this month at Fort Gordon, Ga. To further lessen the chance of Regular Army troops being needed to quell city riots, the Pen tagon has established a unique logistics system that will supply Guard units with specialized riot gear not normally issued through regular channels. Protective body armor, bullhorns, search lights and portable tear gas dispensers have been stockpiled at scattered secret depots throughout the nation. Enough radio sets to equip two infantry divisions have been...
