...months, Kahn has come out with some one liners, as jesters and wise men will, that probably made his boss laugh uncomfortably. After Carter had announced his wage and price guidelines, for instance, Kahn pulled an Andy Young, saying he feared the nation might be in for a "deep, deep depression," words an allegedly Democratic President would rather not hear from one of his top economic advisors. The next morning, Carter summarily dismissed the remark as "idle talk," but the inflation fighter was to be heard from again. On a T.V. news interview he captured the Administration's it-will...
...weeks that urgent radio message crackled from a redoubt deep in eastern Cambodia's Mondolkiri forest. The frustrated sender of the plea was the commander of two Khmer Rouge infantry companies. He had been cut off in the forest by Vietnamese troops who had invaded Cambodia (Democratic Kampuchea).

There is nothing very deep here, but the work is a flashy hit. Ballet, like opera, is a virtuoso art. There are a lot of high Cs for the young dancers who portray the seasons of the year, and for Baryshnikov the scale steps up to paradise...
...English, it was conservative. Ben's first real contact with modern art did not occur until the 1920s, when he saw a Picasso in Paris. "It was what seemed to me then completely abstract," he recalled later, "and in the center there was an absolutely miraculous green-very deep, very potent and very real...
