...Sixth Workday. The wave of repression is washing over everyday Czechoslovaks as well as prominent reformers. Because flagrant on-the-job loafing has made a joke of recent production quotas, the regime is thinking of adding an unpaid sixth day to the work week. Because some 30,000 citizens (by the government's own, probably conservative count) are living in the West illegally, the regime has canceled 100,000 tourist visas for travel outside Czechoslovakia.

...most violent upheaval that France has endured in two decades. The very existence of the Fifth Republic was threatened as unions called crippling strikes and students took to the barricades. Now that most stable element of French society-the small businessman-is beginning to vent his violent discontent. In recent weeks, shopkeepers have paraded through Paris, burned tax forms in Lyon, fought police in Morlaix. In Nice, they refused to pay increased gas and electricity rates.

Serious Deficiency. For all its limitations, the show makes an eloquent statement about American art in recent years. Geldzahler's decision to devote whole rooms to single artists of his choice rather than include everybody results in a perspective that he himself probably did not anticipate. In the Met's vast spaces, Adolph Gottlieb, Robert Motherwell and even Barnett Newman wither. But the works of Ad Reinhardt, Hans Hofmann and Helen Frankenthaler take on new authority. The show's most serious deficiency is in sculpture, and Geldzahler admits that, with the exception of David Smith...
