...first time that a complete catalogue of the museum's 215 enamels has been prepared. The task was completed with the aid of a $12,500 Ford Foundation grant-and a dozen more catalogues are needed. Many experts believe that the Walters has one of the top ten all-round public collections in the country, but nobody knows for sure. The museum has shown so many superlative examples of work from the classical era through the Renaissance that scholars are positive that many works by as yet unidentified masters lie hidden in the Walters' chockful storerooms...
...Chinese did not come at all, but they were not silent for the occasion. The New China News Agency denounced the Soviet leaders as "something filthy and contemptible-like a dog's dirt," and Defense Minister Lin Piao accused them of bringing about "an all-round capitalist restoration in the Soviet Union." Then, even as glasses clinked in the Kremlin, both the Chinese and the Albanians called upon the Russians to overthrow the "renegade revisionist clique" in Moscow.

...all-round athlete leads a hectic life, particularly at Notre Dame, where legend is the game's middle name. Take Kevin Hardy, 22. He can break 80 on anyone's golf course, execute a perfect jackknife off a diving board, or play expert handball. But rarely does Hardy have the time. He has had to give up basketball altogether-a fact that saddens Irish fans who remember Hardy as a sophomore, coming off the bench to break up a game with Ohio University. Kevin also had to skip spring football practice this year because he was busy batting...
