...Chinese landscapes in the U.S., the Southern Sung scroll on exhibition this week at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts is outstanding. This 12th century masterpiece tells the complex story of an ancient war that matters little. What does matter is the opportunity it gives to roam outside the body in a dream world of blue, green and gold, moving to the subtle, silk-smooth music of the painter's brush.

Early reports put the dead at 17 of 20 passengers and crew. In the backlands where rebel bands roam more or less at will, candidates were terrorized. They could not make campaign speeches, shake hands, or get before the people in any fashion, except from the safety of heavily guarded TV stations. A few were shot down. In Oriente province, balloting was virtually impossible. In a frenzy of rage, Castro...
