...time to enrich, the sometimes exaggerated starkness of bare walls in contemporary architecture.'' Lurgat is currently working on a series of tapestries called Le Chant du Monde, mostly representing such contemporary horrors as La Grande Menace (fallout), Le Grand Charmer (worldwide charnel house) and La Fin de Tout (final destruction). Other sections of Lurgat's monumental looming have more pleasant themes: fishing, wine, the conquest of space, hunting and poetry...
...Tout." His own voice, when in use, is faintly Flatbush-full of lines like "I sen tout for coffee" and "I had a friend of mine who . . ." The fourth child of a New York lawyer, he had been an actor, magician, mentalist and hypnotist when he tried his first commercial-as a talking flashlight battery-eight years ago. Soon, for another commercial that was used repeatedly, he got $1,700 instead of the $45 he had expected.

Today, across the U.S., culture centers are springing up like puffballs on a dewy morning. To date, close to $375 million is involved in building projects scheduled to house the arts in 70 cities.

Benkhedda, 42, resembles his nickname, "M'sieu Tout le Monde" (Mr. Everybody). With a diffident manner and an emotionless voice, he is not the sort of charismatic figure usually found at the helm of revolutions. But he is a tough, machine-minded organization man who fought skillfully as a terrorist against the French, and is proving equally adept at intraparty warfare. His opponent, Ben Bella, 45, was one of the nine founders of the F.L.N. (only four others are alive today), a passionate orator and "activist," and still an authentic hero to millions of Algerians. In 1949 he held...
