Department store sales have been slow since just before the onset of the price freeze, and volume has actually been declining in some retail fields. But sales of cars and houses are strong (see BUSINESS); some economists suspect that consumers are spending heavily in the auto showrooms instead of the department stores, figuring that car prices will rise after the freeze...
...idea of modernism itself. Not now. The only men of Picasso's generation whose work still exerts pressure on modern painting are Henri Matisse (1869-1954) and Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968). To artists nurtured on Duchampian irony, the very idea of the culture-hero, which Picasso embodies, is suspect.

If it succeeds, its effect may be to keep Peking out for another year. Thus even some pro-American delegates suspect that they are being used to achieve this result and help Richard Nixon cement his relations with U.S. conservatives in advance of the 1972 election. If the American effort fails, the U.S. loses prestige. Yet the plan has a sort of perverse virtue in that it offers neither total victory nor total defeat...
