...food and sloppy service. For the first time in its 22 years, Ronay's Lucas Guide (Penguin; $9.95) goes beyond its customary survey of British restaurants and inns to rate-and berate-14 Britain-to-North America carriers. Some of them may want to head for the nearest cloud...
...read it directly as landscape violates its meaning. The cliffs and ravines of color, the jagged rifts of blue or vermilion breaking through a matrix of dense enveloping black, are no metaphors of the Grand Canyon or the Rockies, nor do the flickering shapes literally allude to flame or cloud. They are meant to convey a sense of pantheistic energy, of intense mood and vigorously articulated feeling-to substitute, in fact, for nature it self.

There, Buddhist priests murmured their sutras while mourners prostrated themselves in grief. With a shrug, a government worker whispered the prevailing mood of sorrowful but stoical resignation: "Gone is gone...
...Ohio State Buckeyes take the opening kickoff in the end zone and start play on their own 20-yd. line with a blustery wind blowing into their faces. The University of Wisconsin defense is bunched close to the line of scrimmage, anticipating the three-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust plunge that has been an Ohio State trademark for decades. But on the first play the Buckeyes go for the bomb. Though it fails, Wisconsin is caught off balance, never to recover, and Ohio State wins, 59-0.
