...unmatched even in the annals of petulant Latin American military men. The generals, feeling surrounded by hostility from much of the Roman Catholic hierarchy, the press, the students and many businessmen, overreacted when even the meek Congress dared to defy them. Radio stations were ordered to stop broadcasting the result of the Alves vote. Censors and policemen invaded newspapers and press-agency offices. The respected daily O Estado de Sao Paulo was ordered to kill its morning edition because a critical editorial warned Costa e Silva: "You can't run a country of 80 million people like an army...

Perhaps trying to caution those who may seek reclassification as a result of it, Selective Service Director Lewis Hershey pointedly observed at week's end that "the area of religion is a very complicated...

The men's performance was unaffected in a test that demands signaling when a particular letter appears in a group of letters flashed on a screen.

The marijuana novices did poorly on this for as long as H hours after smoking, but the habitual users improved their ordinary performance when under pot. A similar discrepancy appeared in a test requiring the subject to keep a stylus on a moving spot...

But the Low Countries in the 1600s, in spite of wars with Spain and brutal religious repression, saw the flowering of one incomparable painter after another-Vermeer and Rembrandt in Holland, Rubens and Van Dyck in Flanders. As a result, Jordaens passed into history as something of an also-ran. Now, thanks to a splendrous 315-work display of paintings, tapestries, drawings and prints at the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, Jordaens is finally getting the kind of full-beam spotlight necessary to illuminate his artistic individuality...
