...bicentennial will offer a jarring contrast between high purpose and pure kitsch. True, the Commission on the Bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution, headed by former Chief Justice Warren Burger, has rejected some of the more outrageous proposals. As a result, there will be no bicentennial brownie or constitutional hot dog. The commission has nevertheless designed a circular logo -- enclosing an American flag, an eagle and a scroll with the words "We the People" -- to be emblazoned on golf shirts, caps, scarves and sweatshirts...
...bottle of wine called Wild Irish Rose. It's 1 a.m., and the thermometer hovers around 20 degrees, with a biting wind.

A Tulsa radio personality joshed last week that a "900-foot Lassie" had told him to complete a 60-story dog-and-cat hospital and that noncontributors would die. More soberly, the Tribune editorial informed Roberts that his portrayal of a "petty, vengeful or idiotic God" is "close to sacrilege." General Manager David Lane of WFAA-TV, the offended Dallas station, stated that Oral's pitch "violates everything I believe in from a moral standpoint."
