...realize that it is powerful, thoughtfully-structured music. Peruvian girls are crazy about it. I cannot condemn this "cultural imperialism," if that's what it is, because it is perpetrated by the music I grew up on. Others might have been weaned on Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf, cello lessons and madrigal singing around the family piano, but I spent my Wonder Years humming along to Diana Ross singing "Baby Love." The future is unpredictable; perhaps in another few years Peru will swing left again, and schoolchildren will be required to sing the "Internationale," but in the meantime, "Love...
...Federal Executive Council Building, Brezhnev ridiculed as "fairy tales" the widespread fears that Moscow would attempt to interfere in Yugoslav affairs after the 84-year-old Tito dies. Brezhnev also belittled the notion that Yugoslavia is "some poor helpless Little Red Riding Hood that the terrible bloodthirsty wolf-the aggressive Soviet Union-is preparing to tear apart and devour...

Time and again, one encounters feats of inspired and self-mocking draftsmanship, traced with wire in air: portraits of Jimmy Durante and the shimmying Josephine Baker, or a farouche she-wolf suckling Romulus and Remus through six wooden drawer pulls that serve as her teats. Often there is a prophetic note. Calder's motorized sculptures of the '30s predict the kinetic art of the '60s and are fulfilled in such giant works as Universe (1974), in Chicago...
