...pledge to guarantee Israel's sovereignty. The effort is beginning to bear some fruit. Mauritania recently renewed diplomatic relations, which were ruptured during the 1967 war, and other states may follow suit. By shifting from the role of benefactor to broker, the U.S. hopes-and the hope is slender-that it may be able to restore peace to an area where warfare has become the daily routine. Last week, for instance, amid all the diplomatic harangues, Israel's military was having another busy time...
...Cover: epoxy resin sculpture by Frank Gallo. Though Gallo's slender, sexy swingers grace many museums and private collections around the world, this is his first for TIME and first of a real, live girl. The others have all been imaginary. The sculpture took three weeks to complete, and Gallo personally brought it from Champaign, Ill., to New York-it sat beside him in a first-class Ozark Air Lines seat.

Landsman collects slender "green-ies," a kind of metal figurine usually portraying a modish nymphet in an affected pose, which were popular as a decoration atop the family radio console. In his current show at Manhattan's Guggenheim Museum, Lichtenstein displays a series of what he calls "modern sculptures," whose source he proudly admits is his own extensive library of Art Deco. Done in sleek brass, they look as if they should be holding back the crowds at Radio City Music Hall. Another indication...
...GYPSY MOTHS. Superficially a film about skydiving, The Gypsy Moths is in fact another investigation by Director John Frankenheimer into the nature and quality of courage. If the story seems too slender and deliberate to bear its weight of rather sophomoric philosophy, there are many scenes-including a lengthy skydiving sequence-of individual brilliance...
