...painting divides into two epochs: before and after the Armory Show of 1913. That year, from the vaulted bastion of Manhattan's 69th Regiment, Marcel Duchamp's stroboscopic Nude Descending a Staircase strode jerkily into public awareness; Tin Pan Alley came up with That Futuristic Rag; and the nation was swept up in a fever of excitement over something called Modern Art.

Even before Ribicoff strode into HEW's grey concrete headquarters on Independence Avenue, much legislative initiative had been purloined from him.

Soldiers of the three armies broke into cheers, and TV cameramen shouted for a word in English. Beaming. Souvanna replied: "I cannot speak English. I can only say-it is all O.K.'' Souvanna's enthusiasm was shared in Moscow. Nikita Khrushchev fired off a cable to President John Kennedy hailing the creation of a neutral Laotian government as "good news" in the "cause of strengthening peace in Southeast Asia...
