During the first stage of my absorption in Tapies' tricky abstract art form, I could have sworn that his work suggested merely a "well-raked garden" in an ordinary Buddhist temple, as distinguished from a "Zen Buddhist temple," as he described it. Finally, however, I caught the subtle clue to Tapies' entire revelation. I saw that had Tapies but an ordinary Buddhist temple to suggest, he would have used only eleven parallel lines against a background of mud. Actually, he employed twelve such lines, the twelfth line, of course, signifying...
...Chinese delegation has cooled its heels for a month in Colombo trying to arrange a new rice-for-rubber barter, after the other one worked out badly. Of 16 ambitious projects to be set up with Soviet Russian aid, only one-a sugar factory-is beyond the planning stage. Banda's smiles are currently lavished on the U.S. aid missions, which since 1956 have spent $36 million on a variety of Ceylon's problems, from malaria control to extending the runways at Colombo airport.

But with Kim gone, the situation showed no signs of calming down. When her part was offered to Understudy Malone on a permanent basis, Nancy Malone asked for $500 a week. (Kim Stanley had got at least...
...villain chased the hero from right to left, but when the hero was winning, he was naturally headed right (with his pistol hand closest to the camera). Anybody shot was assumed dead, unless the audience was notified to the contrary. The stock situations had also been worked out-the stage robbery, the Indian attack, the big stampede, the necktie party, the chair-throwing brawl in the barroom-and in the subtitles, the dialogue had been perfected: "We'll head 'em off at the pass...
