...This approach has made him, among other things, a founding father of that singularly obdurate style of sculpture known as Minimal art. In 1961, when De Maria was still a neophyte artist, he built two plain wood boxes. They differed from later Minimal artists' boxes primarily by being open and filled with wood blocks. De Maria intended the spectator to wonder obscurely whether or not he ought to shift the blocks from one box to the other...
...ballet traditions of Imperial Russia. The New York City Ballet dazzles the eye with its athletic vigor and the astonishing choreographic virtuosity of its creator, George Balanchine. What Britain's Royal Ballet offers above all else is the English style. Style it indubitably is: the Royal's approach to dance is essentially lyrical rather than dramatic, narrative instead of abstract. It offers an almost invisible way of dancing that emphasizes detail-perfect simplicity and linear beauty rather than energy and showmanship.

Though it disappoints tax-reform idealists, the modest first stage balances the claims of opposing interests deftly enough to make it politically palatable. It also goes much further toward genuine tax reform than almost anyone had expected...
...expanding corporate enterprises often disappear into the paperwork to become remote and impersonal figures of authority rather than flesh-and-blood leaders. Over the past dozen years, John M. Eckerd, 56, has created a Florida drugstore chain with $100 million a year in sales by taking the opposite approach. Eckerd gives zealous attention to the personal touch. "Employees make or break a business," he says. "They should be treated as individuals and not just parts of a wheel...
