...heist likely to hurt the Chelsea's zany reputation? Hardly, say its most seasoned guests, who for years have known how to blink at outlandish goings-on at the Chelsea. "The incident just gives the place a little pep," observed Composer George Kleinsinger, a 17-year resident. "The Chelsea is still a very personal place, and I like it for that," says Playwright Miller, who lived there from 1965 to 1972. "It has big, quiet rooms. Some of them," he adds with an indulgent smile, "need painting, of course...
...romantic, on the other hand, after coming out of the theater, will blink in the glow of the streetlight's as he slowly comes to realize that no, he is not in Africa, not France nor the Pacific Northwest. Cambridge at the moment is distasteful to him, and, as he sits in a cafe sipping his espresso, the future becomes not further education nor a steady profession, but a series of places where a political struggle remains to be won, where a woman waits to be conquered, where a challenging task awaits the man equal...
...blink your eyes in the pervasive neon light as you are sucked further into the maze, past Fine Arts, past Sociology.

Last week Italy's 36th government fell after only 89 days, but this time there was a major difference. The latest upheaval, which Italians quickly dubbed "the crisis in the dark," was not caused, as it so often has been in the past, by political...
Still, the shortages worsen. The New York State Public Service Commission last week proposed a statewide 5% cut in electrical power output, which would douse nearly all outdoor advertising and cause store-window lights to blink off after 9:30 p.m. and office-building and parking-lot lights to go dark three hours after the close of business every night. Texaco announced that its deliveries of home heating oil, diesel and tractor fuel to distributors this month will be 27% lower than in December last year. At that, the American shortages are mild compared with those in Europe, where bitter...
