...father was ploughing when unexpectedly, the fog shrouding the mountain all disappeared suddenly. In no time at all a plane flew over, but it appeared as though it wouldn't fire. My father stood in the field with the buffalo, watching for the plane to pass so he could unhitch the buffalo. But suddenly four planes of the F-4H type flew over and immediately released their bombs. The bombs destroyed my village. All six houses burnt and a bomb fell about fifteen meters from where my father was ploughing, causing the blown-up earth and the shrapnel to kill...
...first abstract painters, Arthur Dove, set up his version of the modernist hope. To visit the traveling retrospective show of 70 Dove paintings and collages that Art Historian Barbara Haskell organized for the San Francisco Museum of Art (it opens this week at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo) is to sense how difficult that ambition must have been for an American of his generation...
Boston's Sanson Institute of Heraldry puts coats of arms on everything from blazer patches ($14.95) to watches ($49.95). The American Heraldry Foundation in Clearwater, Minn., has a different approach. For a $39.95 fee, customers can suggest the motif of their shields.

Journey Through the Past contains much documentary footage-of Young on tour, performing with Crosby, Stills and Nash and the Buffalo Springfield-intercut with stillborn fictional parables about a scholar who tromps through picturesque locations, searching for himself, or perhaps just for a guitar.

There is also...
...times and lives of the two Americans from the birth of Franklin in 1706 until Jefferson's death on July 4, 1826-precisely 50 years after he signed the Declaration of Independence. The exhibition features photographs, paintings, documents and artifacts, including a hulking 3,500-Ib. stuffed buffalo-a symbol of the vast, unmapped Western territory that Jefferson bought in the Louisiana Purchase after becoming President. Following trips to Warsaw and London, the show, which is being underwritten by IBM, will come to the U.S. in March...
