There is little doubt that the Wall is becoming something of a neo-Stalinist skeleton in Khrushchev's carefully refurbished closet these days. Bit by bit, holes are being pricked into it to permit some movement between the halves of Berlin. Last week Ulbricht's press agency announced that beginning Nov. 2, some 3,000,000 elderly East Germans will be allowed to cross the Wall for annual four-week visits to relatives in the West, and negotiations are nearly complete for yet wider visitor exchanges between the two Germanys...
Truth in Garbage. Rauschenberg has been called a neo-Dadaist, a belated abstract expressionist, a junk assemblagist, a pop artist, a hyper-cubist, even an anti-artist and, of course, a nut. "Great!" he says. "I like that. I'm only concerned when the critics stop changing their minds and get a fix on me." Getting a fix is hard because change is the essence of his experimentation.

H. Harriman. In 1950 Eldest Son W. Averell Harriman gave the $5.5 million neo-Norman castle and its 100 acres of parkland to Columbia. Alumnus Averell and his brother Roland picked up the tab for converting the old homestead into a conference center (item: a new roof at $165,000) for the university. For après la classe, it has a swimming pool...
Some Marxist neo-Avant-Garde writers from Italy, said Sorgio Perosa of the University of Venice, declare that the disintegration of Western society is shown most clearly in its language...
