MIDWEST. While Chicago had a minor incident in the uptown section of the North Side last week, Deputy Police Su; perintendent Samuel Nolan is "not anticipating any serious problems-though > we recognize the possibilities at any given time." The Rev. Calvin Morris, a J, black who is Chicago director of Operation Breadbasket, disagrees: "We're 1 in store for a lot of trouble. People are I tense and mistrustful, and the police are tense and mistrustful." In the De? troit area, Wayne County Sheriff William Lucas expects some flare-ups in the inner city but worse incidents in suburbs...
...round trips to the U.S. There are some 700 medium bombers (range: 3,000 miles); the U.S. has had none since the B-47 was phased out. The Soviet tactical air force includes 4,800 planes, mainly attack bombers such as the YAK-28 and fighters (MIG-21s and SU-7s), which can be used for low-level bombing and strafing missions. There are also some 1,700 transport aircraft, including an estimated 20 of the monstrous Antonov-22s, which can carry 720 troops. Despite the Soviet advantage in numbers, most experts rate the U.S. Air Force superior...
...what goes in the marketplace. Peter Selz, director of Berkeley's University Art Museum, observes: "Today's young artists reject pure color paintings as establishment art. They are more interested in changing our total environment." Nonetheless, aside from the majestic scale, the frequent emptiness and the su-persimple icons of the past three decades, there is a lesson to be learned from the Met's show. It is that American artists have persistently practiced a kind of aesthetic brinkmanship in taking an idea to its logical, if sometimes totally irrational conclusion. As a result, their art achieved...
Dangerous Imbalance. Under the treaty, the Soviets agreed to pay part of the upkeep costs of their troops, but the Czechoslovaks are obligated to furnish the garrisons with barracks. The Soviet air force is taking over five fields, from which it will fly MIG-21 interceptors and SU-7 and YAK-28 Firebar fighter-bombers. All in all, the Soviets will leave behind a force sufficient to keep the Czechoslovaks in line and NATO worried about the threat to West Germany's exposed southern flank...
...considerably upgraded in quality. Once again, it heavily outnumbers Israel's armed forces in men and firepower. Last week London's prestigious Institute for Strategic Studies estimated that Egypt alone has 700 tanks and 280 heavy guns. Its air force now has 400 combat aircraft, including 40 SU-7 all-weather fighter-bombers, and 110 Mig-21s that can fly higher and faster than Israeli Skyhawks. Since other Arab forces have been similarly re-equipped, the balance of firepower has been tilted heavily in the Arabs' favor-at least on the paper order of battle (see chart...
