...contains all the "sick" elements that have become so exhaustively familiar in his more recent work--the mendacity, the liquor, the sex-starved woman, the stud male, and so on. But the most distinctive characteristics of Williams' writing are his vivid and powerful command of language and his fascinating use of rhythmic speech patterns--sometimes lyric, sometimes syncopated like a primitive drum...
...rajah will part first with his palace, second with his Ford and only at the extreme with his art collection." To make this eventual parting easier, the Indian government has forbidden export of art for selling purposes, has increased hereditary death-duties and, in the future, hopes to use a further Western trick in allowing tax deductions for the value of art objects given to India's public museums. All of this should work wonders for India's already fine multipurpose museums and multi-museum directors like Dr. Prakash...
...Pearlman Collection continues upstairs in Gallery XVII, which it shares with works from the Fogg's 19th century collection. Up here, the range and quality of the works is extremely impressive.

The installation of three sculptures in one case, one on top of the other, has never been the dream of the artgoer, and the use of different levels is handled poorly--without any strong accents on the bottom level of the main gallery, the collection is allowed to dribble off to nowhere. I'll add one good note about the exhibition's installation: two incredibly large and mildly good Van Goyens have been sent over...
FIVE years ahead of schedule, Quesada has set up radar-controlled jet expressways from New York to Califor nia and from Florida to Gander by persuading the Air Force to let FAA men use its radar facilities. He has worked out a common airspace system for both military and commercial planes, opened thousands of square miles of "restricted" military space to commercial carriers. He prefers to use soft talk instead of a big stick, but he can hit hard, especially when pilots fail to realize that jet planes require a much closer watch than older, slower planes...
