...Your vivid story on the art of Kenneth Noland [April 18] reminds me of a visit to the Vermont farm in South Shaftsbury now owned by the artist and his wife. I was in search not of Mr. Noland, whose painting was then unfamiliar to me, but of the former home of Robert Frost, which the Nolands have renovated and restored. This was The Gully farm, purchased by Frost as a Christmas present to himself in 1928. A barn close to the house had been converted into a studio for Noland...
Gracelessly Sacked. It was a decision whose immediate consequence was to elevate President of the Senate Alain Poher, 60, to the interim presidency of the Republic. Under the constitution that De Gaulle himself created, Poher must call an election in no sooner than 20 and no later than 35 days for a new and permanent French President. Poher, a member of the Centrist Party, might be a candidate, as might Centrist Leader Jean Lecanuet, a dedicated European integrationist, and Communist Jacques Duclos among others.

Caught squarely in the middle is the government of Captain O'Neill, whose efforts toward reaching compromise and conciliation are considered too little and too late by the Catholics and civil rightists alike-and too much too soon by his increasingly reactionary Unionist Party of entrenched Protestants...
...issue of who in the future should be regarded as a war criminal. Chancellor Kurt Kiesinger argued that "our job is to bring to justice the mass murderer, the beast in human form." Most of his Christian Democrat ministers favored excluding from the war crime category those Germans whose offenses were relatively small and who had only been following orders. But the Social Democrats held that it was impossible to make such a distinction and their view prevailed. In fact, the Cabinet agreed to remove the statute of limitations from all forms of violent murder, including killings committed by civilians...
