Instead of a blast, however, the Tory convention was an unmuzzled bore. Convened before BBC television cameras at the Top Rank entertainment center in the beach resort of Brighton, it proved to be the most powerful argument for picking up a good book since the advent of televised wrestling. The Tory high command, following the example of Party Leader Ted Heath, sat solemnly on the speaker's platform, heavy-lidded, hard-shelled and heartburned. Little about the party leaders suggested that they were capable of standing up to the slogan emblazoned on the rostrum: PUT BRITAIN BACK...
Included in this group are the "fantastics," born between 1910 and 1930, who explore odd materials and resort to private mythologies, whether through the twisted polyurethane of Chamberlain, the plaster casts of Segal, the junk sculpture of Stankiewicz, or the soft objects of Claes Oldenburg. On the bottom three tiers, and on the ground floor and bottom levels, in stage center, are the minimalists, including Tony Smith (TIME cover, Oct. 13). It is Fry's opinion that the minimalists, who build industrially produced large-scale works, are trying to achieve a "tabula rasa, the clean slate upon which...

In the hands of Picasso and Georges Braque, collage became a favorite technique during the early years when they were inventing cubism together. For Boston-born Conrad Marca-Relli collage was a last resort. In 1953, while in Mexico, he ran out of oils and turned from the paintpot to the gluepot in sheer desperation...
...expert. As Vietnam expert he is impressed by the recent elections and by Nguyen Cao Ky's political antics. As theorist he has warned against confusing superficial signs of democracy with real political development. Americans, he has written, in their search for political stability in emerging nations tend to resort to military strong men or the formal device of elections instead of building a political party, the only truly solid political institution. Will the Saigon junta ever allow the creation of a strong political party which can compete with the one organized party in South Vietnam, the NLF? Fox Butterfield...
