...cozy act." Or, he confronts the viewer with Palace in Babylon, a cardboard mock-up of D. W. Griffith's 1916 film epic, Intolerance. As in a spectacular dollhouse, chariots, dancers, spear bearers, and potentates in braided beards are framed betwixt potbellied columns. Atop them trumpet curly-trunked elephants, seated like corpulent Hollywood-style brokers at a banquet. Playful, punning, and still a sophisticated commentary, it is, like most of Red Grooms's art, a toy for adults...
Louis Armstrong, 64, took his golden trumpet-blew-and the Wall didn't come tumbling down. Never mind. It was a mighty blast anyway. Cheering throngs of East Berliners, from the youthful hip to the Party drip, shelled out a capitalistic 15 to 25 marks ($3.75 to $6.25) apiece just to soak up all that jazz. Playing to packed houses on his four-week trip behind the Iron Curtain, Satchmo neatly muted the inevitable questions on race and politics ("Some of my best friends are Southern whites," he grinned) and gave the Volk encores and encores of Blueberry Hill...
...time, Truffaut was the sternest critic on Cahíers du Cinéma, the trumpet and bible of the New Wave, and he introduced Moreau to the company of serious filmmakers and intellectuals that has been her real world ever since.

Other Frenchmen are less reticent. Premier Georges Pompidou admits that the French economy has shown "a certain slowing of growth, even a stagnation of production." The usually docile Patronat-French equivalent of the National Association of Manufacturers-is so disturbed by the letdown that it has formally criticized government economic policies for the first time in memory. In Paris recently, a cartel of steel producers met to survey France...
...brought by New York police last week, the mastermind-if that is the word-of the plot was one Robert Steele Collier, 28, a library clerk who visited Cuba early last summer and returned to organize the Black Liberation Front. Also charged were Walter Augustus Bowe, 32, a onetime trumpet player who used to lead a combo called "The Angry Black Men," but more recently has worked as a $50-a-week New York settlement-house youth leader, and boyish-looking Khaleel Sul-tarn Sayyed, 22, son of an Arab-descended Negro who runs a Brooklyn delicatessen. And then there...
