...doorway opening onto a mottled moonscape marked by tiny red crosses ("It signifies my whole life," explains Tapies). Johns's Pinion is a prime illustration of Krzisnik's "alienation," since it literally depersonalizes one of Johns's zanier collages, which includes a wax arm and a ruler, by reproducing a ghostly, photographic image of it in watery red, yellow and pale blue, together with the grey smears of foot, hand and knee prints. Explained one juror: "Johns's subtlety in converting and sublimating pop elements exemplifies the harmonious reticence which is graphic art at its best...
Starting Point. Hussein's reputation in Jordan and the Arab world is higher than ever before because he was the only Arab ruler to go to the front with his troops. Taking advantage of this, he is trying to get the Arab nations to hold a summit meeting later this month, hoping that he can convince them that they must accept Israel's right to existence as a starting point for negotiations. "We either come out better off now as the result of genuine efforts of all of us to face up to things, or we face some...
Different Ruler. Jordan also has a pressing necessity to act courageously. Hero or not, Hussein cannot long hope to survive, at least as a moderate, without getting the west bank of his country back. Palestinian Jordan, which the Israelis now hold, is the most prosperous part of his land. It contains nearly a third of the arable farm land, nearly half the population-and Jerusalem.

He can trace his Hashemite dynasty back to the prophet Mohammed, and his ancestors ruled the holy city of Mecca for 37 generations; yet his country is so new (1921) that he is only its third King. Despite his youth and many interests, he rules Jordan with a firm hand, shuffling his Cabinet regularly and on occasion even dissolving Parliament when it refuses...
...badges and little Red bibles of Mao-think. The government banned both the badges and the bibles, and a crowd of Chinese students in Rangoon retaliated by taking their teachers as hostages and beating up newsmen. The Burmese struck back by sacking Chinese-owned shops. Burma's military ruler, General Ne Win, declared martial law in Rangoon, and his men fired into mobs which had made three assaults on the Chinese embassy. In turn, Peking denounced the riots as inspired by a "militarist fascist rule" and sent Chinese by the thousands to demonstrate and smash windows at the Burmese...
