...Regarding the article on Andy Warhol [May 17], I'd first like to mention that if it is l'art pour l'art he is after, he has definitely filled the bill and in a new way. Secondly, Warhol celebrates the victorious condition of mass production. If mass production is not what is victorious and heroic, then Henry Ford has been vastly overrated. And who said anything about morality when Ford produced autos...
...announced on the radio news. Though Shazli was supposed to take over Cairo and arrest Sadat, in fact he did nothing. (Later, he too was rewarded, with an appointment as army chief of staff.) When the resignations were announced on the air, anti-Sadat demonstrators were expected to pour into the streets, but only a score or so appeared. Desperate, General Fawzi telephoned a unit commander at a nearby base, who-like Shazli-said he would join in the coup, but informed Sadat instead. Within an hour, Fawzi, Sharaf and the others who resigned were under house arrest, along with...
...staff assistant remarked recently of Kissinger, "His policy is in the same position as Johnson's was in '68, and he knows it." Nonetheless, the failure in Laos has merely deflected the U.

...gullible can we Americans get! A U.S. table tennis team is admitted to Red China and is given an incredibly warm welcome. Meanwhile, Mao continues to pour military and advisory support into North Viet Nam. The same can be said of Communist Russia. Each talks of growing friendship and cooperation with the U.S. Ironically, this situation could find us, at the final Vietnamization and withdrawal of U.S. troops, shaking hands in friendship with two nations who have significantly contributed to the death and wounding of tens of thousands of U.S. soldiers throughout Indochina...
Parched Treasury. Lindsay is pinning his major hopes on state legislative action that would allow him to sharply increase a tax on commuters' income earned in the city. Such a measure would pour about $500 million into the city's parched treasury. His plan had better work, because Governor Rockefeller is not likely to be of much help. The same day Lindsay made his plea, Rockefeller's budget officials announced that the state was dismissing 8,250 employees, many of them in key health programs...
