ROLES & MISSIONS. If he is to head off an interservice blow-up that will make past squabbles seem like mere brush fires, McElroy must redefine obsolescent service roles and missions assignments (air to the Air Force, sea control to the Navy, land to the Army) in the light of missile strategy, to which old geographic concepts no longer apply. Outer space, by present definitions, belongs to no single service; neither does defense against enemy space missiles. Neither, for that matter, does the missile itself.

For him, even the calligraphy of brush strokes is anathema, a romantic hangover from the days when the viewer, willy-nilly, could follow the painter's hand, guess and second-guess his intentions and hesitations. Soulages. with his plank-sized strokes, aims to hit the spectator with one knockout blow...
...Motherwell's entry-loud, messy, vigorous and oblique. Part of the title-Je t'aime, No. 11-A-was scrawled with grey mud against a background of black and orange bars. Beneath the letters was a bloody smear, at the point of what might be an upright brush. It did seem an odd way to say: "I love...
