Global views mix with art and politics in a burst of opinions
A collage of thoughts spans postwar theory and atomic warning. Prime Minister Smuts argues against new orders, urging honest application of the Golden Rule, while Hutchins says no defense can stop the atomic threat.

It surveys arts criticism and a jarring painting titled Roman Boy provoking questions about art and perception.
