Thieu approved President Nixon's May 14 speech before it was delivered. But partly as a result of subsequent reporting out of Washington, he discovered hidden nuances that disturbed him. In the somewhat Delphic address, Nixon had talked of establishing "procedures for political choice that give each significant group in South Viet Nam a real opportunity to participate in the political life of the nation." That could mean, among other things, Viet Cong participation in future elections and thereafter in a future government. Thieu has gone as far as that, although only on the difficult condition that the Viet...
...result is an open and flexible style, allowing The Moth Confesses to range from lyric tone poems through lavish transitions to mild rock. The Neon Philharmonic-an ad hoc "chambersized orchestra"composed of members of the Nashville symphony, local jazz groups, and talent used by Bob Dylan (drummer Kenny Buttrey)-is terrific, brightly expressing the Saussy intelligence and exuberance...
Abstract art is losing some of its edge - or edges. Dozens of abstract painters have traded in their rulers for spray guns, mops and brushes. Similarly, some of the most severe minimalists indulged in a spot of color. The result was a group of painters loosely classified as "romantic minimalists."

Instead, she consciously sought to use her belief as the light by which she saw, making her religion implicit in her vision rather than explicitly intrusive in her work. If the theme...
...Fantasia, it is the sort of work that might well fill the extra channels on the cable antenna systems of the future. Eager to "take the waste out of the wasteland," Thomas Tadlock, 28, spent two years and a patron's $10,000 to create his Archetron. The result is a studio-size console, with 46 knobs and controls and four screens, that scrambles the signals of standard programming to produce an endless flow of kaleidoscopic images. Both Siegel and Tadlock are working toward what Nam June Paik, 36, a Korean-born virtuoso of electronic sculpture, calls "the Silent...
