...should lose such a runoff? Said another bitter Ne gro leader: "We don't care that much." Probably, though, a majority of Arkansans still do. What they want is more response from Bill Fulbright-perhaps some of the down-home concern that now impels the scholarly Senator to pop into his car alone and disappear for days at a time into the just-folks country, squeezing hands and lifting his hat to compare bald spots. The primary will be only the first hurdle. The winner will still have to face Republican Charles Bernard, 40, a racial moderate...
...Provence village of Bargème is scented by lavender from the nearby Alpine foothills, and its pastures are dotted with herds of grazing sheep. At the start of the 1960s, it was smaller (pop. 65) and, if anything, more charmingly bucolic than it had been in the Middle Ages. The few visitors to the town, an hour's drive northwest of Cannes, usually came to view its medieval ruins-a chateau, a church, towers and gates that had decayed into an exquisite stone latticework. In 1961, Bargème found a benefactress-or rather, Madame Germaine De Maria...
...seen as the spiritual forefather of postcubist movements, ranging from the gesture paintings of the abstract expressionists to the gaily erotic whimsies of such pop artists as Warhol, Lichtenstein and Oldenburg.

...more than two decades, West Berlin has lived and prospered despite its isolation inside Communist territory. The economic cost of accomplishing that feat is now getting higher and higher. Surrounded by bitterly hostile East Germany, the city (pop. 2,200,000) must bring in most of its food, fuel and raw materials through its air, rail, autobahn and canal lifelines with West Germany, 110 miles away. And to keep their $10 billion-a-year economy afloat under such circumstances, West Berliners have been forced to rely increasingly on powerful infusions of capital and outright subsidies from the West German government...
...artists shown, 39% were born or are living in the U.S. But Documenta makes no case for a U.S. monopoly on styles. The sprightly satires of Britons Richard Hamilton and David Hockney hang in the same gallery with their better-known U.S. pop equivalents, such as Tom Wesselmann and Robert Indiana. Indeed, it is Documenta's unity that last week prompted Sculptress Louise Nevelson to remark: "Usually an artist works in loneliness. But here, one suddenly experiences the kinship one always suspects one might have with the rest of the artistic world...
