...lights in the hall fade. The slide projector goes on, and there on the screen is a picture of John and Jacqueline Kennedy with a towering, dour man about whom 40 million Frenchmen may be right. Says the lecturer's voice of Charles de Gaulle: "What a wonderful leader for the French he has been. How he has sacrificed himself! The women don't make speeches in France, and Madame de Gaulle was quite surprised when I told her what the ladies do over here...
England Is Rainy. Last week, for example. Rose appeared before an audience of 1,000 in Maryborough, Mass., benefit of the town's Newman Catholic Women's Club. She flipped on a slide of Windsor Castle, delivered a capsule history of Britain's royal family, went on to urge her audience to go to Europe. "It adds meaning and enjoyment to life, especially for the younger people . . . You hear that places like Ireland and Switzerland are so cold, but it's not true. Don't load your suitcases down with heavy clothing. A couple...
...troubles for Walker Hill (named after the late U.S. General Walton Walker, who commanded U.N. forces during the Korean war) began when its architects, who had never designed a hotel, positioned bungalows so artistically-and precariously-on the hillsides that a good rainfall threatened to slide them majestically into the Han River; the management is now frantically planting trees to stop mud slides.

In their steady slide down the scale of living standards, Cubans heard last week that rationing would henceforth extend to clothing-shirts, trousers, dresses, and even to those snug slacks that Cuban women-and their men-love. Like any good Communist bureaucrat, the Maximum Leader an nounced through his Government Consolidated Products Enterprise that he was doing this so that clothes could...
...surrendered to it completely. He never ceased to experiment: one painting in the show, Accompanied Contrast (1935), has sand mixed in with the paint on the canvas. Later he seemed to be looking into a world of microscopy; his (Surroundings) (Environment) of 1936 resembles a blown-up slide of gaudy amoebae sprawling on a speckled lab culture. And in one of his last works, A Conglomerate (1943), he slyly reintroduces some recognizable figures in the form of a pointing hand, a pair of seated people, some chimneys and a gable. But always Kandinsky was primarily concerned with form: "It must...
