FROGS MERRY (by Juliet Kepes; Pantheon; $2.95) is like skindiving by proxy. One drops into an aquamarine world of luminous blues and greens. There is no more story line than the splash of frogs at play. Suddenly, two herons goose-step into the pond. But the lily pads, like huge oriental fans, hide the frogs from their enemies. Frolicking again, the frogs ride a turtle like a raft. Time for a supper snack of algae and dragonfly eggs, and the frogs' perfect day is done. Mrs. Kepes draws the way jazz sounds, and her book is an improvised underwater...
...love, Hemingway wrote with peculiar implausibility. The love affair in A Farewell to Arms is a kind of modern Romeo and Juliet. Most of the other love stories read like adolescent male fantasies. In Hemingway there are only two kinds of women-the bitches like Margaret Macomber who shoots her husband the moment he displays courage, and the somnambules like Maria, who sleepwalks into Robert Jordan's sleeping bag.

Behind its formidable walls, the fortress city offers a program formidable, meeting the competitive challenge of the nearby Avignon festival with Goldoni and Aristophanes, Romeo and Juliet, Emmanuel Roblès' Montserrat, a presentation in the original Provençal of Frédéric Mistral's poem Calendau, and a production called A Meeting with Vincent Van Gogh in Aries, based on the painter's correspondence with his brother Theo...
Romanoff and Juliet (made in Italy for Universal-International) presents Peter Ustinov's hopeful supposition that love, if given a chance, could make the world stop going around with a missile on its shoulder. Ustinov plays the President of Concordia, a postage-due-stamp principality with no prince and no principles. At the U.N., given a chance to cast the tie-breaking vote on an important amendment to an amendment, Ustinov abstains because he cannot understand the diplomatic bafflegab in which it is written. The Russians and the Americans present ultimatums: accept massive aid, or else. But dollars...
