...Surgeon General C. Everett Koop recently said he would not be surprised if those who smoke in 1995 are required to light up out of doors. Officials of the General Services Administration, the Federal Government's housekeeping arm, evidently decided to do their part in making that prediction come true about nine years early. Last week they proposed a near total ban on smoking in 6,800 buildings owned or leased by the GSA, beginning in the fall...
...school, Cuomo impressed his classmates and teachers as an intellectual duelist of fiendish cleverness. Arguing with Cuomo is like arm wrestling with an opponent who has some built-in advantage: it is hard to get any leverage. He tied for first in his graduating class and was chosen to serve as a legal assistant for a judge on the New York State Court of Appeals.

These planes, screwing around the axes of arm and body, are given a momentum and self-sufficiency unique in the history of wood carving. Stoss's work, which can rarely be seen in quantity outside Nuremberg, is the revelation of this show, and nobody interested in the unfolding possibilities of sculpture should miss...
...husband's reviews. She is also sexually unsettled. In bed with David, she wants to be a boy. She then persuades her husband to join her in getting matching short haircuts and a platinum-blond dye job. (Hemingway fans may recall that the Catherine of A Farewell to Arms also suggests twin coiffures but without the bleach.) Eventually, Catherine comes out of the closet on the arm of the dark, lovely and rich Marita...
