...allies have lined up many opposing concepts-freedom v. slavery, opportunity v. conformity, godliness v. ungodliness, and so on-to define and dramatize what the struggle is all about. Last week the global sweep of the news added up to another concept: namely, law and justice v. authoritarian rule, two 180° opposites ranged against each other across organized land masses of freedom and serfdom. In the reports out of Budapest, Panmunjom, Washington, the operative word was justice; the question welling up, the debate accumulating, the pressure contending, was about how to get justice, how to fortify...

At 10:30 there is a coffee break. From ii to lunchtime (12:30) members do manual labor...
When Mondrian sorted out his own style and theory (in the early years of World War I), he resolved to simplify all nature in vertical and horizontal (masculine and feminine) strokes, make asymmetry his basic rule, keep the painting flat on the surface. "When one does not represent things, a place remains for the Divine," he jotted in his notebook. He later simplified his palette to primary red, blue and yellow, then, working with charcoal, ruler and strips of paper, bound and balanced the areas with a grid of black lines that became his trademark...
