...difference is that two very dissimilar cultures have come together -- and sometimes have not come together -- to produce what has been hailed as "a new kind of workplace." Back in the early '80s, Toyota's president said the company would never operate a U.S. plant organized by the U.A.W. For their part, more than a few U.A.W. people said they'd never work for "the Japs." Five years later, the effect the two cultures have had on each other can be summed up in one sentence: the Americans are working better, and the Japanese are enjoying life more...
Artists, often quite dissimilar ones, share common sources. The themes of pastoral delight, installed in Venetian art by Giorgione (represented here with one rare, very rubbed drawing) and given monumental form by Titian, spread south and north through the influence of the Giorgionesque engravers Giulio and Domenico Campagnola. Watteau copies one Campagnola landscape; Rubens takes a motif from another, Rembrandt from a third. These hard, wiry- lined little engravings, with their slightly metallic nudes and sudden dark explosions of vegetation, are to the circulation of ideas about landscape what Marcantonio Raimondi's copies after Raphael are to the human figure...
Sasso engineered Dukakis' comeback crusade as Governor in 1982, and the emotional bond between the totally dissimilar men remains strong.

Rather, we argue that the maintenance of one's own culture is essential in an effort to respect and appreciate dissimilar ones. Ms. Williams and those who concur with her are obviously ignorant of the Greek affiliations of such civic luminaries as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rev. Jesse Jackson, Mayor Thomas Bradley, Shirley Chisholm, Mr. John Jacobs, Dr. Benjamin Hooks, Dr. William Cosby, Andrew Young...
Television made Ollie North a celebrity. Journalists had cast him as a heavy in the Iran-contra scandal, but his bravura performance as a witness -- emotional, defiant, patriotic -- led to a national outburst of Olliemania. McCarthy, Agnew and North were quite dissimilar in deeds and in character, but of each it could be said that journalists covering him believed that with time and further acquaintance people would think less of him. That also seems to be the conviction of most journalists who cover Gary Hart...
