...longer needed; American investment and influence and aculture can usually penetrate the Third World unaided. But American military stands ominously in the background, ready to re-open the channels of direct domination if problems appear. Interventions-- Guatemala (1954), Cuba(1961) and Indochina(1961- )--demonstrate that American imperialism can revert to classical forms if the need arises...
ERNEST STILLMAN apparently had faith that Harvard would take care of his gift as he had intended. In a gift to Palisades Interstate Park System, he included a reversion clause--that if the land were ever sold it would revert to the Stillman heirs.

Thus his co-invention, with Braque, of Cubism: that system of anchoring and interlocking forms in space that proved to be the first workable (though less systematic) alternative to Renaissance perspective in modern...
