THE PRICE OF PEACE. By

AS intensely political ami
NAL who grew up in an in
tensely political environment.
Ambassador WadSworth is
convinced that the key to the
riddle Of peace-keeping is in
the minds Of men.
He is no doubt right, but
seems to be convinced that
a sufficiently forceful effort
in suaSion can make the
minds Of all men In the world
function closely enough in
harmony to avoid nuclear
catastrophe.
There Is no basis in history
for this optimism, certainly
not in the vast experience
of Ambassador Wadsworth
in negotiating with Soviet
diplomats; there can only
be confidence that man will
somehow now subdue in
stincts he has never been
able to suppress in the past.
Ambassador w q dsw o rth
exudes this persistent conf
dence. He has contributed q
new word to the disarmament
dialo que: "minarmament,"
meaning phased reduction Of
arms to the Lowest possible
common denomination"
The flaw in Ambassador
Wadsworth's arguments. of
course, is that Communists
are largely immune to his
brand Of positive thinking.
This he already realizes more
than most, having spent
some $500 hours across the
negotiating table from Com
munists. But his optimism.
as this book shows, is wholly
incurable.

VituI Concerns

THE INTEGRATNG MIND.

THE INTEGRATING MIND.
BY william r. Lynch, 81.
(Sheed and Ward; $3.95).
Often We have the notion
that q man Of the cloth
should be made to stick in
his own corner like an en-
barrassing little boy and not
concern himself with the
things Of this world. So too.
in affairs of art there Is the
commonplace notion that
dealers in art should be deal
ers in unrealities.
The author Of "The Inte-
grating Mind" does not agree
with this. One Of his cardinal
themes is that theology and
art must concern themselves
with the world and admit
that politics, business and
war are not mundane con-
Germs. but vital concerns Of
the clergy and the artist be-
cause they are human con-
Germs.
Although not o crusader.
Father Lynch Is q man in
arms against the culture
engineers" Of our mass media
who have convinced 50 many
of us that they are the only
ones who can speak the
language Of the people.
Father Lynch opposes those
who distort the basic realities
because he believes such dis
tortions affect whatever we
do in our private and public
lives. lima UHLIG.

BY Harry Harmon. (Wyn-
kyn de Worde Books;
$3.50
This charming book is
essentially the analysis. or the
introduction, Of is Picasso
paintings from the Museum
Of Modern Art, New York.
The author is ingenious in
perceiving elements in the
paintings which touch q
child's experience Of the
world. He Is equally ingeni-
Gus in using the paintings to
explore aspects Of the world
as yet known only by repute
to most children. The 16
paintings analyzed are repro
duced In black and white,
which is too bad. but Mr..
Harmon manages all the same
to convey o good deal about
their meaning without going
into their color. The books
four color plates are left to
the young readers own
analysis.
In this Job the young
reader may expect consider
able assistance from Mr..
Harmon. not so much in the
form of the beginnings Of
such analysis as in the form
Of nine engaging tales the
author adduces from the
first nine years Of his artists
life. The experiences In the
little tales are common
enough, yet from them Mr..
Harmon draws meaning that
applies to Picasso and to
most other artists.
To his view Of PicasSo. Mr..
Harmon brings Q couple Of
notions that are extremely
rare In art books these days.
One is that God exists and is
good. Another Is that art
generally means something
about the world around us.

girl about to marry the Count
de Gercourt. Both Valmont
and she herself, the Marquise
points out, have cause for
revenge on Gercourt, for in
the past he has taken q
mistress away from the one
and has abandoned the other.
Valmont must, therefore, in
justice to both Of them and
as pleasure for himself, not
merely seduce Cecile, but
debauch her, 50 that Gercourt
viii be disgraced.
Thus the stage is set for q
story Of intricate plot which
concludes with the downfall
Of both protagonists-a COM
plete catastrophe caused not
by any miscalculation Of the
pair in regard to either the
wife, the young girl or sew
eral other victims who appear
during the course Of the story,
but by the final attempt at
personal reconciliation be-
tween Valmont and the Mar
quise. Each can approve and
enjoy the tactics and the
illnesses Of the other, but
theirs are evil and incompat-
ible bloodstreaI1s which when
commingled cause death.
It would be error to assume
that because Of its subject
matter Les Liaisons Dam
gereuses" is q sordid book.
Quite the contrary. In it
evil is q hypothesis which
once assumed disappears.
A Catholic friend Of mine
with whom ! discussed the
book observed acutely that
Valmont and the MarQuise
are like saints who, their
initial alterations once taken
for granted, conduct their
lives with q purity Of logic
not exceeded by their single
ness Of purpose. Valmont
and the Maruuise, In all the
evil Of their intentions and
designs, are magnificently
true to the mselves and
answering in their quest for
perfection.
The reader is treated to q
dissection Of motivation, and
an insight into the most
varied and subtle aspects Of
love as it can be observed in
a highly self-conscious and
vigorously stylized society.
The letters Of all the persons
involved-the Vicomte, the
Marulise, the wife, the girl,
the virtuous young lover, the
Cassandra-mother and the
gentle aunt Of Valmont-are
all perfect expositions Of the
characters Of their writer's.
If Valmont and the Marquise
were absent, the novel would
still be peopled with memo
rable men and women; II the
Marquise had not been dis
covered by Laclos. valmont
would be known as litera-
ture's chronicler Of the war
