...prospect of any action, or even conversation, about disarmament inevitably frightens some. It delights others. With the start of Strategic Arms Limitation Talks between the U.S. and the Soviet Union just two weeks away, the two groups maneuvered in Washington to influence both the tone and substance of the Helsinki conference...
PEACEFUL demonstrations are clearly appropriate and necessary forms of protest against such abuses of university resources as MIRV and ABM research. But movements such as NAC too often appear to depend on crude forms of power polities to make distinctions about appropriate university activities. The tone of NAC statements suggests that they are willing to move as far along the continuum as their power allows in stopping "objectionable" university practices. "Building a movement" implies creating a political force which will at some point have enough strength to coerce other segments of the university into ending certain activities...

According to the catalogue, alteration of this plate constitutes a change of "state" in the print. But within each state the artist experimented with ink and paper tone. Rembrandt often printed an image on particularly dark or absorbent paper to soften the black lines. Sometimes by wiping the ink off the plate before printing, he let light from the surface of the paper glow through the network of lines. Intricate juxtaposition of black and white makes the billowing robe...
