...Jeff, and thousands of other eager youngsters, it was just as real as action shots of the Viet Nam war on TV. In fact, it was all part of a new U.S. Army exhibit inside Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry. The helicopter was grounded, the landscape was a diorama, sound effects were recorded, and the machine gun was electronically rigged so that its light beam made bulbs glow when a direct hit was scored...
Mystery & Authority. Real. Estate Man Joseph Randall Shapiro, 63, president of the fledgling Museum of Contemporary Art (TIME, Nov. 3), is equally geared to the current scene.

The erstwhile writer becomes monomaniacally absorbed in profits and tax losses, an attitude that is presumably symbolic of the subversion of art by money...
...into the vehicle for his ambition. This is the lesson that Journalist White appears to offer today's rulers. "When men are treated as God, they begin to feel they are God," says White. Absolute power, he suggests, does not merely corrupt; it invites paranoia. The real virtue of this crisp exercise is that it is put in terms that a historian can respect and even a county politician can understand...
