...short, the widely varying streamline of photo personalities can be overwhelming to look at in one turn of the galleries. I suggest you stroll around the castle's grounds and rest your eyes. You can see some three-dimensional sculpture which is also on exhibit, take in the three-dimensional green grass and trees as well as some pinkish bodies with real flesh and bones. You should then return to the equally exciting world of black and white two-dimensional New England personalities. The show runs until September...
...happier mood suffuses a stroll the grandmother takes with her tiny grandson. "What will you be when you grow up, and where will I be then?" she questions the oblivious tot, with a wistful but optimistic view of the future. Her strongest link with the future, although she successfully hides it from both children and husband alike, is a sure fore-knowledge of her own approaching death. This is to be her first and last visit to Tokyo. But she never lets her intuition become evident; she cannot lower herself by making her children feel guilty, though they have sinned...
...forgotten authoresses, nor mouldering collections of poetry by some oppressed New England saint; she preferred to scrutinize fictional heroines familiar to us all. Given the title of her lecture.

There is also a forbidding 10-ft. green wooden fence, set back from the road and stretching for miles. If, despite these...
Private Faith. In the summer-lush countryside, the Soviet citizen can raise vegetables, stroll through the pine woods-and enjoy an extra measure of privacy unavailable in his city apartment. Even the KGB (secret police) pays little attention to what the citizen does on weekends in the country. Prudent during the week, he may read proscribed books once he is secluded in his dacha. Among typical articles of private faith furnishing many dachas are Alexander Solzhenitsyn's The First Circle, an LP of Hair, a photograph of Pasternak, and a bronze cross...
