...judgment. If it is proved that this action comes from the leadership of the P.F.L.P.-G.C., then we will deal with this matter at that time. We must distinguish between an individual action and an official action. I find it extremely unlikely that the P.F.L.P.-G.C. can be behind this action, because this group more than any other concentrates its activities totally on the occupied territories...
...Chirico's dreaming, spatially deceitful piazzas and arcades, with their phallic locomotives and long-shadowed statues, had an immense resonance both inside and outside Italy. Their influence on surrealism was crucial, but their reveries about past and present, nature and culture, memory and desire also hover behind much Italian art from the '60s to the '80s, such as the richly metaphoric sculptures of Giovanni Anselmo or even (more distantly) the structures of Mario Merz...
Randall Adams did not complain when Continental Flight 140 from Houston to Columbus took off 20 minutes behind schedule last Thursday. He was already twelve years late leaving Dallas County, Texas, which he says had become his "hell on earth." In 1976, several weeks after Adams found a job repairing pallets, he was arrested for the slaying of a Dallas policeman.

Even Williams, coming from low-paying CNN, will ring up a respectable $500,000 or so annually at NBC. "We are watching a profound shift in the way networks function," says Marvin Kalb, the former...
...your hackles up, California. We are here to discuss that choke-thy- neighbor word, water. Here being a quintessentially innocuous looking and provocative setting, the Los Angeles water intercept on Lee Vining Creek in the eastern Sierras. On a brilliant winter afternoon, knee-deep snow covers the intake pond behind a small concrete dam, and a Steller's jay swoops among the evergreens. Mount Dana, lacking only an Ansel Adams moon, is lit up crisply against a cloudless sky. And in the background (the sticking point), there is the sound of rushing water...
