...Door." It begins jauntily with paintings by cubists and futurists, like Joseph Stella who arrived from Naples in 1896. He visited Europe more than a decade later and returned excited by Cezanne, the Fauvists and everything modern. During the three-year absence from his adopted country, he wrote later, "steel and electricity had created a new world. A new drama had surged from the unmerciful violation of darkness at night, by the violent blaze of electricity, highly colored lights." Stella was describing America in 1912, and he translated one of his impressions into a bright, swirling canvas that he called...

...opening session of the 23-nation conference,* Secretary of State Henry Kissinger walked to the podium in the steel-and-glass Diego Portales building and warned the junta that "the condition of human rights has impaired our relationship with Chile and will continue to do so. Human rights are the very essence of a meaningful life, and human dignity is the ultimate purpose of government. A government that tramples on the rights of its citizens denies the purpose of its existence." It was by far the strongest statement on the subject that he had ever made anywhere...
