...Ruth Draper (Spoken Arts; five records, $29.75) is the understatement of several years. The late monologuist was one of the most formidable artists in the history of the U.S. theater. Her monologues were not stunts but acute siftings of men and women as social beings. Her Doctors and Diet is worth 100 Helen Hokinson cartoons, her Three Generations in a Court of Domestic Relations pours oceans of immigrant experience into a mother's tears. The Italian Lesson, beginning with Dante's "Midway upon the journey of our life I found myself in a dark wood, where the right...
MEWS is often thought to be bad news-and the badder the bigger. Certainly, any well-balanced diet of weekly news will have much to tell of diseases, controversies, unrest, agonies public and private. This week's cover story, for example, examines the long railroad featherbedding fight as it reached beyond its last mile.

Hilton's U.S. hotels are generally good commercial hotels, but the Hiltons abroad are luxury tourist hotels that are more like resorts than hostelries. Hilton has sited on some of the finest hotel locations in the world-looking up at the Parthenon in Athens, near the Diet Building in Tokyo, overlooking the Vatican in Rome and the Queen's private garden in London, on the Nile in Cairo and above the Bosporus in Istanbul, at the foot of the Elburz Mountains in Teheran. All of the hotels glisten and glitter, with an architecture that ranges from international slab...
...really cared about." An Editor to the End. When Alicia entered Doctors Hospital in Manhattan last month with a bleeding ulcer, she ignored doctors' protests, ran the paper from her bed, ordering stories, discussing projects, arguing with editors by phone. By taking it easy and following a strict diet, she could have cured her ulcer without an operation. "But she wanted the surgery," said Newsday Editorial Director Bill Woestendiek. "She said she wanted to live her life her way or not live at all." So last week she was wheeled into the operating room. Bleeding from the first surgery...
