...good old days when a painting was addressed to the eye instead of to the ear, when it spoke for itself and needed no explanation. Now vision is verbalized, and the honest artist is out of fashion-and out of luck. I might suggest that $30,000 for a mess of refuse from the town dump is a high price to pay for jargon.

...Congratulations on your Dubuffet article. It is good to see a painter working fresh connections of mind and eye.

Now, apparently with an eye on the Assembly vote, the U.N. command shifted its stance slightly, ruled that if served with a formal expulsion order, Welbeck would have to get out, since the U.N. "does not intend to interfere in the relations between the government and diplomats...
