...Strenuous Argument. The second requirement for a policy of tenacity is a lack of pressure from Washington. Israelis were heartened last week by President Nixon's press-conference promise that the U.S. still has no intention of imposing a peace settlement on Israel. Nixon also indicated that his Administration would never withhold arms from Israel because to do so would be to upset the military balance that has helped to prevent all-out war in the incendiary area...
...State Department has assumed Sadat that the U.S. is doing its utmost to coax the Israelis into a more flexible position. Israel Galili, a Cabinet Minister Without Portfolio and one of Premier Golda Meir's closest advisers, admitted that the U.S. and Israel are engaged in "a strenuous argument."

...Strenuous Responsibility. "Clean" is the adjective Georgia O'Keeffe's paintings constantly invite: clean as a bone, as a desert rock, as a haiku. She refutes the idea that discipline is masculine. O'Keeffe may, in a special sense, be the most aristocratic artist America has yet produced. This quality has nothing to do with a grand manner. It lies in its antithesis: her aloofness and precision, her refusal to make any gesture for the sake of effect. Every work in this show, from the earliest calligraphic wash drawings to the recent ones, like Road Past...
