Soviet forces frequently impinge on Norway, which constitutes the northern flank of NATO and is a key Western listening post for monitoring Russian military intentions. About three times a month, Soviet reconnaissance planes take aim at Norway's Finnmark province, which abuts Russia's Kola Peninsula with its strategic naval bases and 900,000-member complement of Communist ground and air forces. The spy planes turn back only when challenged by NATO interceptors. At least twice a year, large-scale Soviet naval exercises are held off the Norwegian coast. Soviet submarines, based at Murmansk, glide into Norway's deep fjords...
...never about giving up. For me?for a lot of kids?it was a totally positive force . . . not optimistic all the time, but positive. It was never?never ?about surrender."

All this fits Miller's ideas so well that there is speculation that he and Carter have struck a bargain under which the Administration practices tax-and-spending restraint and Miller refrains from a stern hold-down...
...elements of that myth ? eroticism, physical change and an invocation of the antique past ? pervade Mary Frank's work as a whole. Bodies be come landscape, human anatomy wavers into that of animal or plant, and the structure of flesh undergoes a sort of fossilization. Her aim is to recomplicate sculpture: to make objects that cannot be taken in at a glance, that demand thought and gradual digestion...
