Viewing Mao as a latter-day Monkey may be the only way to make sense out of the Cultural Revolution. Six years after it began, five years after it peaked, the largest civil disorder of modern times remains largely mysterious. Yet, amazingly, there was a continuous stream of information flowing out of China during those years of turmoil. From regional radio broadcasts, newspaper stories, wall posters, speeches, government documents, refugee tales and many other sources came a provocative mixture of facts, accusations, propaganda, rumors and half-truths. As a correspondent stationed in Hong Kong (originally for TIME, later...
More serenely beautiful is Duration Piece No. 31, which documents in ten photos taken in a progressive time sequence a continuous stream of water flowing down a cluster of icicles. Adding a humorous note, the same water was later used to prepare the chemicals that developed and fixed the photographs. The photos are not arranged in chronological order; as we view them, we tend to look for the progressive formation of new icicles. When we discover the water was later used for the photos, we are freed from closing our concept on its frozen form. We now look...
...midst of their sorest travails. Troell's characters have a strength which allows for joyous conceits: the first shot of Kristina, lounging and playing on a swing while Oscar comes to court her, or Robert, excited by a natural sciences schoolbook, floating cap and boots down a stream to check out its fluidity.

With Stokes favoring Humphrey McGovern's moguls had expected that Humphrey would beat them in the 21st, but they had not expected that precinet figures would run on the order of 109 to 1 and 120 to 3. In fact, as a steady stream of such figures came in from the 21st the McGovern people realized that they had been taken. And, they also realized that it was essential that they at least mend fences with black politicians, while at the same time attracting a larger following within the black community, if McGovern were...
...Munich raid was only the most dramatic example of Arab terrorism in Europe. There were assassination attempts in London last year on a Jordanian ambassador and an Iraqi ex-Premier. In The Netherlands, the parents-in-law of Andre Spitzer, one of the Olympians slain at Munich, received a stream of telephone calls threatening the lives of Spitzer's widow and baby daughter. Eventually, Israeli security agents had to help the Spitzers leave the country secretly. Only France seems to have been spared such incidents, presumably because Arab terrorists do not wish to embarrass a government that is supplying...
