...pacifists play a game like football? Our guest selector, Duane Glasscock is the only known clone on radio. He's also the only predictor in the world (well, I can't call him a man or a machine) to pick Penn, Colgate 3, Columbia 2. A Sominex Bowl. But brush before...
...Walt Disney's Fantasia in which Bugs Bunny makes a ravishing Brunhilde opposite Elmer Fudd's stalwart Wagnerian hero. In Duck Amuck, Daffy Duck, whose specialty is egocentricity, suffers the indignity of having his costumes and backgrounds constantly redrawn by a demented animator whose hand and brush become Daffy's antagonist in a brilliant bit of Pop surrealism.

Venetian color, quotations from Roman or Flemish Baroque, borrowings from the new realism of Caravaggio and his great Spanish follower, Ribera. The city was visited by geniuses, like the young Rubens...
...subject: some kind of arrangement to guarantee oil supplies to the Europeans and to guarantee price stability to the Arabs. Once again, the Israelis hold the West Germans chiefly responsible for the growing cooperation between Europeans and Arabs. Says an Israeli diplomat angrily: "We can't just brush aside the past." Bonn's view was that Jerusalem's reactions were largely emotional. West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt is known to be impatient with Begin, whom he regards as holding too narrow and too rigid a position on the Palestinian question...
