Manhattan gallerygoers are an experienced lot. Within the space of a few blocks on syth Street they can see every kind of painting, from pensive and pastoral to wild and woolly, from dully familiar to aggressively frightful. But even the initiates who pushed into the crowded gallery where Willem de Kooning's latest paintings were on show last week came out reeling a little...
...Jiro Yoshihara's Japanese Sunday argues for the universality, if not the naturalness, of the abstract language: his melancholy picture looks extraordinarily like the work of Manhattan's Willem de Kooning, which Yoshihara has never seen...
Foreign Ministers, perennially harassed characters, often wish they could be in two places at once. The Netherlands last week did its best to make the trick possible. When Dutch Prime Minister Willem Drees formed a new government, after a 65-day cabinet crisis, he appointed not one but two Foreign Ministers.

Astronomer Willem J. Luyten of the University of Minnesota is the world's leading small-star fancier. Last week he was beaming over the smallest star yet discovered: a "white dwarf," 25 light years away from the earth, which he found and analyzed with the help of Dr. E. F.

They are right in a way, for Drees would rather give his people sewers today than promise a proletarian heaven in 1984. Starting 39 years ago as a Socialist councilman in The Hague, Drees ascended the ladder to power, reform by reform-always carefully administered, of course, and with a thrifty eye on the budget. In World War II, Drees was imprisoned in Buchenwald for a year, then served as a member of the underground directorate which the Dutch, with stolid inspiration, called the Board...
