...small, skylit shed set amid four tranquil acres of Hertfordshire farm land, an hour north of London. Inside, workbenches are covered with old bones, sticks, water-smoothed pebbles, shells from the English coast and the Riviera sands. On the walls are curious drawings in pencil or in sallow greens, yellows and reds-disturbing, faceless human forms composed of lines, curves, shadows and holes...
World War II brought him a special kind of recognition he never aspired to, when he went down into London's underground as a war artist to do a series of air-raid "shelter drawings." These, unique in their shrouded, sallow-hued style, conveyed with Dantean impact the spectacle of humanity huddled in refuge, yet fated to stir again, to live and to work on. Londoners, who would have blanched at the sight of his statues, recognized themselves in his swaddled figures, and hailed him as one of their...

This week, though Tripp seemed outwardly well, he was still getting tests to make sure...

"I am 5 ft. 4 in. tall and weigh 124 Ibs. without my clothes," he says with dignity. Holding his temper under rigid control, he now speaks so softly his subordinates have to strain to hear; if they argue, he clams up and marches out. Feared and respected by politicians,.Chen is popular with the armed forces. Frugal, remote, humorless, Chen serves plain chow mein at his modest home near Chiang's atop Taipei's Grass Mountain, and criticizes colleagues...
