...pictures except a Sean Scully, a Brice Marden, two Dubuffets and the Rauschenberg reached or exceeded their low estimates, and most were well below them. A Rothko work estimated at $1.8 million to $2.2 million was unsold at $1.25 million. Nothing by Andy Warhol sold that night. Younger artists whose star had risen in the '80s did no better. An Eric Fischl, Northern Girl, estimated at $450,000 to $600,000, went begging...

"Now I am reassessing the whole thing." France gets more than 70% of its electricity from nuclear plants and has an impressive safety record...
After Brubaker had two potential interceptions dropped by Harvard, Kevin Brice broke up the middle for 26 yards, and from the shotgun formation on third and nine, Brubaker lofted the ball to Callahan on a screen pass.
