...Department and Robert A. Paul, an undergraduate, contribute solid supporting articles that would be excellent after a little more editing. Iriye's description of Japan's "great debate" between advocates of stronger economic and political ties to Europe and America is and seekers after an old, compelling Pan-Asian vision is wonderfully clear; and Paul explains precisely how Russian propaganda justifies its hostility to an E.E.C. purported dominated and duped by monopolist and revanchist Germans. In a fascinating analysis packed thickly, like a sardine can, with facts, Dale Peterson gently and dexterously pulls apart Russia's role in the Spanish...

One's only fear about the appointment is that...
...young artist is lost to everything but his own thoughts. The gentle Saskia shows two complementary aspects of Rembrandt: the artist who could look into his wife's mind and yet remain fascinated by the texture of her heavily embroidered gown. The brooding landscape displays Rembrandt's vision of landscape as a wide stage on which the drama of nature is acted-trees pitted against sky, light battling with shadow, serenity threatened by a gathering storm...
