I didn't read those links yet, but is this correct? I thought in the
classic MVC model the Model and the View ignored each other and both
were manipulated by the Controller only. Separation of these two is the
whole point.

The View watches the model, yes. That would be observer/observable?


There's an informative diagram here
http://java.sun.com/blueprints/patterns/MVC-detailed.html

From which I conclude you can't express the whole of it in less than five sentences (the number of arrows). But I guess Lew's pair (or some variation) captures the essence.
