There is still a smattering of opposition to Duvalier in Haiti. Once in a while someone scratches "Caca Doc" (a Creole obscenity) instead of Papa Doc on the wall, and in a Port-au-Prince bar last week a sodden upper-class mulatto suddenly raised his voice: "How long must we stand here and suffer and be killed?" But most Haitians have resigned themselves to a numbing life under Duvalier. The dictator's 5,000-man Tonton Macoute roams the country ferreting out opposition and collecting "donations" from terrified businessmen. Even Duvalier's own henchmen live in mortal...
Healthy Development. Perhaps not. But anger and abuse were just about the only editorial commodities around. Papers that could look upon Goldwater with approval were in the minority. Leading it were the Wall Street Journal and the New York Daily News. "What, pray," asked the Journal, coming to Goldwater's defense, "is so antediluvian about saying that the pendulum . . . between individual freedom and State authority has swung too far to the latter? Plainly, it has." Said the Daily News: "Goldwater's victory in the convention next month would guarantee U.S. citizens a clearcut choice in November, as between...
...patios are big enough to let the sun in, instead of being the penumbral little fakes so beloved of corner-cutting contractors. And there is no scamping of the invisible details.

Doorways are 36 in. wide to permit easy passage of wheelchairs, wall plugs are 2 ft. off the floor to minimize stooping, light switches are at fingertip height, about 30 in. off the floor...
...process" will become meaningless, warned New York State Chief Judge Charles S. Desmond last week, unless more lawyers are willing to represent criminal defendants. Addressing Boston University's graduating law class, he called on law schools to stop pointing students "at the two admired goals of Wall Street law practice and clerkships to appellate judges." He urged that the schools instead expand their criminal courses and Legal Aid activities to give "students at least a smell of real criminal court work...
...Anatoly Nikitch, 46, who will show at the Venice Biennale this season. His seven still lifes are perfectly balanced compositions and painters' paintings; in one, provocatively, a postcard by France's Bernard Buffet is visible stuck to a background wall. Pavel Nikonov's somber Still Life with Pestle and Mortar, with its Braque-like greys and browns, and Aleksei Tyapushkin's still life with flowers on table are also painterly achievements. Sculptor Ernest Neizvestny, who was personally scolded by Khrushchev for his modernism, draws dynamic nudes...
