Coke, though, will answer the Pepsi Challenge. Last week, for example, company officials sped some of the first cans of the new drink from a Queens bottling plant to Manhattan's Battery Park, where they loaded them aboard a tugboat and took them to Liberty Island. Then in a brief ceremony, Charles E.F. Millard, chairman of the Coca-Cola Bottling Co. of New York, presented a can to a worker on the Statue of Liberty renovation project. As the new Coke is introduced into various marketing areas, it will be accompanied by a barrage of commercials, including one that shows...
...Christmastime 1980 at the couple's oceanfront Newport home. An impassive Von Bulow was convicted in 1982 on two counts of attempted murder and sentenced to 30 years in prison.

...made vivid the ecstasy and stress of working and living under George Balanchine's rule: it is a very direct and involving book--one which, Mallon suggests, helps Bentley "to find the way back to her art." Unfortunately, in the compiler's one-page synopsis that includes a few brief quotations, the force of this particular diary is all but lost and in a few awkward words the reader is abruptly shuttled across one of the many connecting bumps in Mallon's text and is confronted with Charles Darwin's account of life at Cambridge.
