...would open a new round of nuclear tests on Aug. 5 in the Arctic testing ground of Novaya Zemlya. Before that, the last reported Russian blast took place in November 1961. It was with more than passing curiosity, therefore, that Western correspondents in Moscow last week came upon a photograph that appeared in the military newspaper Red Star on Aug. 3-two days before the new series began.

Then the fine details of their chemical composition can be deduced from the pattern of the radiation they give...

Though shaped by such old masters as Rembrandt, Daumier and Velasquez ("He haunts me so much I can't let him go"), he has been as much influenced by the here and now of the photograph as by anything else. War, terrorism, gory accidents-these fleeting instants of agony fascinate Bacon. His torn and dislocated figures often seem about to vanish or disintegrate. In a Bacon painting, the body is temporary; only the torment remains...
