...avant-gardes fell before its patter reached the rest of Spain. If there's one artist who exemplifies this, it's Miro, in whose work the archaic and local got fused to the new and unpredictable, with scarcely a cushion between the two. Miro's ''internationalism'' was largely the result of fame and an art-distribution system that became pan-European and then, after World War II, transatlantic. But the real stem of his imagination was intensely provincial, rooted in the Catalan compost; it was shaped, it is true, by the influence of Cubism and then by his immersion...
...weeks has been noticeably less stressful. They have enjoyed less traffic on their streets. They have been able to walk and drive through downtown without being accosted by panhandlers, windshield washers and purse-snatching kids. Crowds have been fewer in many stores and restaurants. This sudden change is the result of an unprecedented ironfisted blockade of the El Paso-Mexico border by the U.S. Border Patrol. Agents posted around the clock along a 20-mile stretch of the Rio Grande have virtually sealed off entry to illegal aliens, who used to stream into El Paso and adjacent New Mexico...
...with the Kremlin and win the approval of Congress. But to do so, he will require not only the luck and acumen he has already demonstrated in such abundance but a clearer understanding than he has shown to date of both the risks and opportunities he faces as a result of SDI. He will also need a firmer ability to control the unruly, ideologically divided bureaucracy over which he presides. Both the case against SDI and the considerable leverage it gives the U.S. in arms control stem from the peculiar nature of nuclear weapons. Because they are too powerful...
...reinforcing old agreements that limit the development of defensive systems. Indeed, the Soviets have recently begun exploring ways to restrict SDI by reaffirming the ABM treaty of 1972. That approach has considerable promise since it is potentially compatible with Reagan's own public statements on SDI. Largely as a result of the quiet urging of British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and Secretary of State George Shultz, Reagan has said repeatedly that SDI is a research program being conducted within the bounds of the ABM treaty. The nub of the American end of an offense-defense deal would be for Reagan...
...lead lawyer in any federal case. That did not matter much to his clients or anyone else until President Reagan nominated the conservative lawyer for the important U.S. Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, based in Chicago. Soon the Senate will vote on whether to confirm him, and the result is being watched intently. For Manion, 44, has become the unhappy symbol of a new turning in the Reagan drive to fill the federal bench with more ideologically congenial judges. By measure of all but the furthest-right yardsticks, Reagan's court appointments in his first four years were certainly conservative...
