Next day, the U.M.W.'s bargaining council voted for the pact by 22 to 17. The vote was closer than expected, but not close enough to dash union leaders' hopes that the contract would be ratified by the U.M.W. rank and file. In fact, although many miners were wary of the new agreement at first, at week's end they seemed to regard it as better than its two predeces sors. (The first was rejected by the bargaining council on Feb. 10; the second was voted down 2 to 1 by the miners on March 5.) Still...
Perhaps the most ambitious entry in the 60-minute dash is ABC's new 20/20, an hour-long encyclopedia of news, personality sketches, investigative reports, cultural and sociological features and satirical skits, possibly by Chicago's Second City troupe. The show is expected to appear in June. Executive Producer Bob Shanks (ABC's Good Morning, America, public television's Great American Dream Machine) has approached at least a dozen candidates for the host job, including Washington Post Executive Editor Ben Bradlee, who turned down a $5,000-a-week salary and a promise that he could...
Saturday at 11:45 a.m., meet, along with all the other people who read this article, at the kiosk in Harvard Square.

If you are lucky enough to be the first one in the door, ask the man at the counter for your free case of Canadian Club...
...caravan on the last leg of what has been a six-month, 30,000-mile-long barnstorming-style campaign all around France. Arriving at 10:30 in the town of Neudorf, he started pumping hands right away and was soon off on a day-long dash that took him to 15 campaign events within a 50-mile radius. In Neudorf, he entered one of the Roman Catholic schools that the left proposes to nationalize-taking care to be photographed under a crucifix. At another town, Chirac nibbled on a piece of truffled sausage encased in piecrust, an Alsatian specialty, before...
...modernist mountain-Matisse at 80 with his colored cutouts, the last paintings of Cézanne, Monet's lily ponds. That sense of exaltation, of a long life resolved and its aesthetic structures made luminously explicit, is missing. Instead, we get a lot of dash and gusto, a polymorphous, ill-focused energy. It is enjoyable, and even tonic. But these are not likely to be the paintings that fix de Kooning's place in history...
