Secretary of State Cyrus Vance and White House National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski have frequently offered differing views of U.S. foreign policy. Brzezinski tends to be more combative, Vance more conciliatory. But a few weeks ago, when they discovered that they had independently scheduled May Day speeches in Chicago and New York City, the two top policymakers seized on the chance to get together. They conferred by phone, and each read and approved the other's draft. The result: the most comprehensive outline to date of the principles guiding U.S. foreign policy...
...street must grasp terms like deoxyribonucleic acid, fantastic prospects like genetic engineering, and bizarre phenomena like nuclear meltdown. The technical face of things has driven some people into a bored sort of cop-out-"science anxiety," it is called by Physics Professor Jeffry Mallow of Loyola University in Chicago.

Jarman is the most consciously animated. During a drum solo he may turn his back and raise his arms as if in supplication or approach a microphone as if to sing but content himself with making faces...
...always been a receptive audience for the group's work, and the size of that audience is of no great consequence. The music which so excites critics today is essentially unchanged since the days when the Art Ensemble played for groups of ten or fifteen devotees back in Chicago. Through years of poverty and even a self-imposed exile, the Art Ensemble of Chicago has remained scrupulously true to their original and challenging language of expression; their longevity is a tribute to the perseverence of art. The wonderful thing is that now, at last, an audience has evolved that...
