...judged on a par with his painting seems a needless reticence. For, although he has treated sculpture as something he did with his left hand, the present exhibition proves that his left hand knew quite well what the right hand drew, and on occasion did it better. Even the simplest piece-a hawk's head snipped from a piece of sheet iron-needs no signature. The work is plainly Picasso...
...City Spaces. On the surface, the reason is a simple one. Smith's works must be fabricated individually by commercial firms such as Industrial Welding. According to Smith's dealer, Donald Droll of the Fischbach Gallery, even the simplest works, such as Die, cost as much as $2,000 to produce. Besides, the work is too big and heavy to keep in the house. It is intended for outdoors, for the public to enjoy. Tony Smith is not the only artist to think in terms of outdoor space. Many other sculptors are beginning to create works...
...Even the simplest of peasants, though, can hardly avoid the contradictions between V.C. propaganda and fact. Though the Communists claim to drive out bad government, soon after they capture a village there is usually a marked decline in public services: schools close down, medical aid disappears, roads are cut and sabotaged.

Taxes are several times higher, and though the Viet Cong rail against the government's draft laws, which conscript young men at 20 for three years' service, the Communists...
...contract writers, Gay Talese, author of a long Esquire indiscretion about his old employer, the New York Times. When article ideas are nailed down, Hayes meets with Lois at New York's swish Four Sea sons restaurant; Lois takes it from there. "Reduced to its simplest terms," says Hayes, "our success relates to the fact that Gingrich got some smart, young guys together and gave them the freedom to thresh things out. As a result, Esquire has its own thumbprint...
...government's 2,500 family-planning centers have been giving away those simplest and most primitive of contraceptives for some time, but the network is hardly adequate to service a nation of more than 566,000 villages. Even when a villager trudges 20 miles to a family-planning center to pick up a free condom, he may find the depot out of stock. Besides, many Indian peasants intuitively distrust any gifts from the government. The only really effective channel to the villagers is maintained by a few giant commercial enterprises that sell shopkeepers such everyday goods as soap...
