...Written on the box was this: "Life is serious but art is fun!" I hear his funeral was a party. A street artist had killed himself. Nobody had supported him but now everybody missed him. Now who would make the dogs make music and the mice pant? The bear knows this, too: It is hard work and great art to make life not so serious. Prostitutes know this...
...without the federal dollars. Boasts Governor Allen Olson: "We want to prove we can live without them." But in the Northeast and industrial Midwest, the new federalism is "cruel and unusual punishment," according to Roger Vaughan, economic aide to New York Governor Hugh Carey. These regions, says Vaughan, will bear an unfair burden of social service cutbacks because they spend more for the disadvantaged in the first place.

Sowell's positions are anathema to many blacks, and he has few supporters among black scholars.

The coach's trademark--and occasionally his cross to bear--is the Multiflex, an offensive system that provides a multitude of formations, daring plays, and backfield-in-motion penalties each game. It is a rare football crowd that collectively giggles at anything, but when the Harvard team lines up with its famous no-backfield set, that is the sound emanating from the bleachers. The Multiflex, alas, is more pretty than successful. Though Restic...
