Chagall's most recent work illustrates the range of time and feeling his images can create. Le Voile, a wash done in 1963-1964, contains Christ staring down from the cross at a woman and child offering him a handful of flowers. Two handprints dominate the picture's center. The wash, with its figures of guilt and atonement, birth and death, make Christ a sign of rebirth and redemption without suggesting that he removes sin and death from the world. Le Visage, a gouache done last year, is a large face surrounded by tiny nudes, flowers, and animals, Devant...
Despite serious shortcomings, Circle of Love is worth seeing if only for its breathtaking color decor. The camera wizardry of Henri Decae produces acres of gauzy portraiture, plus one exquisite vignette in the style of Lautrec, and nearly always the film glows in a red, green and golden wash of art-nouveau elegance. Against such sumptuousness, Vadim's elementary lechery seems to be the only thing out of place...

As air escaped from the lock, the vacuum of space reached into it like a monster's claw. The oxygen in Leonov's suit tried to expand, and the suit inflated like a balloon. The cosmonaut must have listened anxiously for the hissing...
Many bishops have responded to defiance of authority with traditional methods of command. Bishop Bernard J. Topel of Spokane, Wash., last month said that "1964 will go down in the history of the Catholic press as a year of shame." Not only were certain publications guilty of attacking bishops by name, but, claimed the prelate, they called into question "the obligation of the laity to accept the teaching of bishops." Jesuit officials suppressed the publication of a symposium on obedience that raised some critical questions about the society's rules. Hierarchical pressure last month forced the National Council...
...does no good to patch streets if the patches are going to wash out in the next day's rain. Each week City workmen fill three-foot deep holes on Mass. Ave. near Littauer and each week the some holes reappear, a little deeper than before. The holes are filled with gravel held together by something sticky, but it obviously is not sticky enough. Bicyclists who try to avoid the gaps in the street run the risk of being struck...
