Said he: "The distance between one side of the nose and the other is like the Sahara." And so his stick figures present the long and the short of man rather than his breadth. As existentialist sculpture, Giacometti's work would be old hat. But, as Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art opens a retrospective of 140 works this week and London's Tate Gallery...

...date, the French have conducted their tests in the Algerian Sahara, but under the Evian agreements they must get out by mid-1967. The new site will be a 250,000-acre, twelve-mile-wide strip along the French Guiana coast to be rilled out with rows of launch cranes, quarters for technicians and a master command post. The French government has allotted an initial $60 million, and French agents are shopping in French-speaking Caribbean islands for 5,000 workers. Construction on what has already been nicknamed Cape de Gaulle is to start late next year, and France...
