...this is very magnificent, but it's also very expensive. Let's come down to reality and talk about some good-time cheap entertainment. A true New York City favorite is the Sabrett hot dog. For 50 cents you get the world's best all-beef (well, maybe mostly beef) frank with mustard, onions and sauerkraut. Have it with the works and that New York City flavor will stay with you for the rest of your vacation...
...during the years before the enfeebled Lewis retired at age 79 in 1960. The union was badly shaken by mechanization-300,000 mining jobs disappeared in 15 years-by the recession in the late '50s, and by the growing use of oil. Thousands of miners began working in "dog-holes," small, nonunion mines that were underselling the large operators. The U.M.W. permitted a series of "sweetheart" contracts under which management and locals ignored sections of the national contract to keep mines in business and save jobs.

Every ten minutes someone gets impaled, chucked out a window, or decapitated, the latter by a plate-glass window in a scene lingered over by the cameraman as though he were some kind of vampire. One moment of imagination: the prowl of a vicious wolf-dog from hell whose breathing is synchronized with one of Jerry Goldsmith's Latin chants. Gregory Peck is well-meaning, but as animated as a potted plant, and the rest of the cast is colorless until their respective bloody deaths. Why is it that these movies strive to be so serious...
...Gibbs Society taking part at this year's 150th anniversary of Gibbs's birth were Nobel Laureate William N. Lipscomb, Lawrence Professor of Chemistry, who crowned the noble bronze bust of Gibbs, and George Kistiakowsky, Lawrence Professor of Chemistry Emeritus and former National Science Advisor. Kistiakowsky's dog, a Welsh Corgi named Nikki, gave a speech describing his encounters with Checkers during Kistiakowsky's tenure in the Eisenhower administration. Many Gibbsians believe that Nikki is actually the reincarnation of Darwin's Beagle...
