...photographers in the Portland show, Yan Morvan and Alfred Yaghobzadeh, have worked in Lebanon, and from some of their pictures one can grasp the moral implications of that tone. Their best images are their least polished: Morvan's scene of the aftermath of a car bomb, Yaghobzadeh's shot of two men bearing the victim of heavy shelling. For photographers working in the rubble of failed diplomacy, the most decent impulse is to use the camera as a branding iron -- the right pictures are blunt, scorching and indelible. That they can also look raw and haphazard is merely proof that...
What is the No. 1 foreign auto in the U.S.? Since 1975 the titleholder has been Japan's Toyota, but maybe not for much longer. After a dingdong sales battle, auto-industry experts forecast that by year's end, U.S. car buyers will have crowned another best-selling make. The new champion: Honda, a product from a company that little more than a decade ago was more famous for its motorcycles and motor scooters than for its automobiles. The spunky Japanese car manufacturer, which sold only 9,500 cars in the U.S. during its first season in 1971, expects...
...million autos, a 3% decline from 1985. In the past few weeks Ford has engineered a sharp sales upturn, thanks partly to the sudden popularity of its futuristically styled Taurus and Sable vehicles. But GM has a troublesome surplus of more than 1 million unsold 1986-model cars and trucks. In a bid to shrink its swollen inventory, GM late last week postponed the roll-out of its 1987 models, from Sept. 25 to Oct. 9, and announced some dramatic come-ons. The automaker will offer customers a choice of two new incentives: new-car loans at rates...
...national and international rivalry may bring car shoppers lower prices and a better selection of products, but it also threatens to put an ugly dent in Detroit's profit statements. Honda's sudden rise is an indication of how tough the renewed competition will be. The company has added a formidable new reputation for quality automaking to the traditional Japanese manufacturing virtues of durability, faithful service and moderate prices. This year a survey of more than 23,000 buyers of 1985 cars in the U.S. by J.D. Power & Associates, a California consulting firm, showed that Honda enjoyed the country...
...home, however, the Khomeini regime is increasingly harassed by the People's Mujahedin guerrillas. Last week a car bomb exploded in the bustling heart of the capital during rush hour, leaving 20 people dead. Three days earlier a similar explosion took 13 lives in the holy city of Qom. By week's end the government claimed to have crushed two Iraqi-sponsored "terrorist networks," made up of both monarchists and leftist guerrillas, that Tehran held responsible for the bombings. In London, another bomb shattered a video store belonging to Reza Fazeli, a vocal Khomeini critic. Tehran and the mujahedin blamed...
