Questions concerning cosmopolitan culture&#8212;especially questions about the relation of the &#8220;capital&#8221; to the &#8220;provinces&#8221; in the arts&#8212;were once the exclusive preserve of artists, critics, teachers, historians, impresarios, adminis- trators and other professionals directly employed in the creation, evaluation and propagation of the arts. The public was not much consulted, and the Government&#8212;except in a time of grave economic crisis, such as the Depression of the 1930's&#8212;had little, if any, involve- ment. Today, as we know, all this has changed utterly, and probably on an irreversible scale. As the spectral powers of Government loom more decisively in determining both the economic survival of the arts and their geographical dispersal, questions once confined to professional debate have been transformed into issues of public policy.

CRITIC'S VIEW; `New York's position in the arts is not a position that can be carved up, pork barrelfashion, and parceled out on a per capita (or any other) basis.’

The controversy over production of neutron weapons for the United States and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization owes much to the belief among military advocates of the weapon that there is a real &#8212; if remote possibility of war in Europe and that, if war comes, neutron weapons will be vital to a successful defense. It also has important implicat ions for Washington's global strategy.
