...Washington's National Gallery of Art, which jointly organized the exhibition, and then to New York City's Museum of Modern Art. In keeping with the randomness that characterized Dada, the Pompidou has organized the show like a chessboard, making it easy to move through more than 40 rectangular exhibition spaces in no particular order. Thankfully, there are introductory rooms that explain the importance of Zurich, a neutral haven for European intellectuals from Carl Jung to Vladimir Lenin; discuss the Cabaret Voltaire, the local tavern where the Dadaists met for conversation, poetry and drama; and introduce Dada's large cast...

After talking for 51 minutes, the two leaders invited Shultz and Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze to join them at the rectangular wooden table. When the meeting finished at 12:30, Reagan emerged and told a group of his top aides, "They've got a proposal. But I'm afraid they're going to try to go after SDI." That was when Shultz gathered the top U.S. arms officials to meet in the embassy's secure "bubble" room to revise the President's talking points for the afternoon session...
