...calliope tooted God Bless America, Carter preached a new energy ethic, in simplistic terms. Saving energy, he insisted over and over, is "exciting" and "enjoyable," not "inconvenient" or "painful." In folksy, fervent lectures, he urged people to insulate their houses, drive less, observe the 55-m.p.h. speed limit, join car pools...
...SLAVIN & SONS rolled into the underground garage of Chase Manhattan Bank's national headquarters in the Wall Street district last week carrying a cargo of armed robbers. Less than half an hour later, the truck drove out with over $2 million taken from a Brink's armored car. While the caper was the biggest and most professional of last week's heists in New York City, it was just one of 25 bank holdups in five days. New York's bank-robbery rate is up a whopping 27% so far over 1978's tally...
...suit $440 and a Balenciaga handbag $370. Even the cost of window-shopping is steep. Hotel rooms in a smart area of a capital city can easily cost $75 a night, a good dinner for two starts at $60 or more, and a week's car rental often tops $300.

She also gets $9,000 annually from an inheritance, but they show few signs of opulence. They live in a two-bedroom walkup, drive a small car and holiday with parents. Lacking the kind of expense account that allows many Frenchmen the Gallic equivalent of a three-martini lunch, they do not make a habit of eating out. Says Xavier: "I would guess that 60% of the customers in Paris restaurants are not paying from their...
...Jersey chicken farmer -first emerged as a sculptor, he was identified with Pop art. This happened because some of his tableaux had an aggressive, urban character and used real props: stacks of oil cans, winking beer neons, even the inside of a scrapped subway car, with seats, hanging straps, lights and all. Some 15 years later, after a revival of realism in American art that Segal, among others, helped to set off (his plaster molds, for instance, are the direct ancestors of Duane Hanson's ultrarealist wax people), his connections to Pop look tenuous indeed. In this changed context...
