Caressing Shadows. Edouard Manet, who eventually won the Légion d'honneur ribbon, strove mightily to stay on the good side of the academicians. Though his subject matter was often as old as Giorgione's and Raphael's, the fact that he presented his themes in modern dress was enough to outrage viewers brought up on neoclassicism and romantic literary allusions. Manet discovered his clue to portraiture, and his fresh, vigorous palette, in the paintings of the 17th century painter Velásquez. In The Fifer, Manet even used the same greyish background Velásquez...

Pissarro, who conscientiously tried his hand at each new style, set his easel up in the French countryside, gave even the meanest farm a nobility and poetry.

Under the bill the Administration would have discretion to tell any NATO ally the latest facts of the size and destructiveness of nuclear weapons, could also pass along, subject to congressional veto, nonnuclear components of atomic weapons for arming by the U.S. in the event of war. Any ally that had made "substantial progress" in its own atomic weapons program (i.e., Britain), subject to the same veto, could receive actual weapons designs, nuclear materials...
Riots these days are generally made, not born. On Cyprus, as in Algeria, they frequently happen just before the U.N. is about to take up the subject, or when someone is about to offer a new plan. Last week's riots on Cyprus, the worst in years on that embittered, embattled island, anticipated Britain's latest and long-delayed new offer...
