...Scrutinized, as it prepared to take part in still another round of U.N. disarmament talks, a new version of the Soviet proposal -turned down by President Eisenhower last month-for a summit meeting to discuss arms reduction.

If they insist on a watered-down, minus-this-or-that version, would they mind the U.S. Army being minus one less G.I.? I'd sure like to be home...
...model, Hendrickje Stoffels (who was censured repeatedly by the church elders for her life with Rembrandt), appears in a masterful psychological portrait depicting a woman caught during the fleeting moment when she has just managed to stifle her sobs. It may well be a study for a late Rembrandt version of Christ and the Woman Taken in Adultery...
