...China's leaders respect Kissinger. They know him through their own intelligence and through his writing. Discussing him with an old friend and close comrade-in-politics of Premier Chou one evening in Peking, I was struck by his frank delight at the prospect of crossing verbal swords with such a worthy adversary. "Kissinger?" he said. "There is a man who knows the language of both worlds-his own and ours. With him, it should be possible to talk...
...Gerald Clarke's discussion on punctuality [June 28] was a delight to read. However, Clarke ignores one dimension when he implies that a time sense is unnatural and a product of industrial man. The time habits of many birds, mammals and even fish are known by canny hunters and anglers, and the biological rhythms of man are currently under study.

...Trevino's mix of fun and finesse?or his earthy, egalitarian appeal. A country-club Cantinflas, he will stick his tongue out at an errant shot, coax in a putt with a burlesque-queen bump or break into an impromptu toreador waltz with an attacking bee.

I represent the guy who goes to the driving range, the municipal player, the truck driver, the union man, the guy who grinds it out. To them, I am someone who worked hard, kept at it and made it. Sure...
...Energy is eternal Delight"-so wrote William Blake. This is the theme of the last 20 years of Monet's work. He apparently perceived in some intuitive way what science had just begun to formulate -that all matter, from Charing Cross Bridge to the lilies on his pond, was energy. And energy's clearest manifestation was the frothing matrix of light in which, hour by hour, the forms of nature were dissolved and reconstituted before Monet's failing, astonished eyes...
