Coming around the eastern limb of the moon on their first revolution, the astronauts began sending another TV show to earth. This time they focused the camera on the desolate landscape below. After a long period of silence, a Houston capsule communicator pleaded: "Would you care to comment on some of those craters as we go by?" At last the astronauts came to life...

...this is reflected in a sumptuous summer-long exhibition entitled "The Past Rediscovered: French Painting 1800-1900" at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. The show provides a rare opportunity for reacquaintance and reassessment (see color). Paintings by both major and minor figures, including seven loaned by the Louvre, have been arranged in chronological sequence, thereby skillfully re-creating a vigorous esthetic dialogue reflected on canvas...

Dance of Counterparts. "For most people," says Curator Samuel Sachs II, who organized the exhibition, "the century begins in 1870 with the Impressionists." In reality, as his show demonstrates, it began in 1789 with the French Revolution, which sundered the economic and social structure that had given baroque culture its unity. The pent-up forces of individualism that were released found a counterpart in a new esthetic freedom that, with the Impressionists, would climax in a complete shattering of form and balance...

But the overall point that the Minneapolis show makes is that 19th century French painting has too long been viewed as a vast academic conspiracy against the innovators who are now enshrined as the founders of modern art. It makes for a story of martyrs and villains. But, as usual in history, the victors were not all that virtuous...

...whose acting experience was limited to one role in a still unfinished Hollywood movie, Joe Willie Namath put on a surprisingly good show. For more than a month, the flamboyant quarterback of the champion New York Jets had most of his fans-and himself to boot-convinced that he was going to quit football. Professional Football Commissioner Pete Rozelle had ordered him to give up his part-ownership of the Manhattan gin mill Bachelors III, and to quit hanging around with the hoods and gamblers who populated the joint. Namath pleaded that he was being made a victim of guilt...
