British Coolth. An unusual number of op artists come from Latin America. One is a Venezuelan named Jésus Raphael Soto, 41, now working in Paris, who calls his work "vibrations" (left), though he states that he has never read a physics book. His colored aluminum bars, suspended from fine nylon threads in shadow boxes, sway in front of lined backgrounds and dematerialize. "See how the stiff bars become fluid and luminous," says Soto. Like conductors' batons summoning music from strings, they do assume a sonorous life...
...reprieve on the grounds that executing a fumbling 17-year-old kid would do no one any good. Premier Nguyen Khanh was warming to the idea, and Saigon newspapers reported a reprieve in the works weeks ago. As the State Department and the Pentagon size it up, the Venezuelan F.A.L.N. knew that, figured by kidnaping a U.S. hostage it could grab credit for something that was due to happen anyway...

"They need experts more than money," sniffed one high-ranking Gaullist...
...poor struggling China than they do to rich, powerful, bourgeois Russia." Chinese-oriented Communists now reportedly outnumber the Moscow followers among Peru's party members. And in Venezuela, Peking certainly talks the right emo tional language for the F.A.L.N. guerrillas fighting in the hills. Last month a Venezuelan delegation of F.A.L.N. sup porters traveled to Red China, where they were received by Mao Tse-tung. They then traveled on to North Viet Nam for a visit last week with Ho Chi Minh - and presumably some instruc tion in guerrilla warfare...
