...Dinitz to discuss supplies for Israel was canceled, say the Kalbs, because Deputy Defense Secretary William Clements, "a wealthy Texas drilling contractor with close ties to the oil industry, had apparently persuaded [Schlesinger] that he needed more information about U.S. inventories before he could provide the Israelis with an exact timetable for deliveries...
...even though the shapes one infers from the contours are rarely closed or fixed. His early pencil portrait drawings from 1940-41, done 15 years after he smuggled himself into America, are manifestly homages to Ingres-or, more precisely, to Ingres as filtered through Picasso. But that sense of exact and probing contour was not dissipated by De Kooning's progressive moves toward abstraction. Instead, it was reinforced. The line in Abstraction, circa 1945, knows exactly where it is going and what it is doing; for all their improvised quality, his arabesques and scribbles record a certainty about shape...
...besieged by autograph seekers and frequently treated to a free dinner by local worthies. By last weekend, after rolling across rough subsidiary roads in Missouri (he is often refused permission to skate on interstate highways, which would cut his time considerably), he reached Tulsa, Okla., by his reckoning the exact mid-point in his journey. He may also have surpassed Hugh Hefner as the world's biggest Pepsi-Cola guzzler. Pepsi not only put up $1,500 for the trip but also staked the skater to all the pop he could drink, provided that he attire himself in Pepsi...
...recognizes that human progress is governed by the same uncertainty principle that applies to the movement of electrons. Science can specify where a moving electron is at any given moment, but cannot tell where the electron started from or where it will stop. Nor can science be any more exact when it comes to man. His origins are shrouded in mystery. All that is certain is that man is still evolving and, if the past is really a prologue, ascending. · Peter Stoler
Precisely because this case is founded upon an imitation of handwriting and could be repeated in the future, I decided to publish the following documents. The first is a comparison of my genuine handwriting with a sample from a forged letter. The handwriting is not an exact copy, but the similarities can be deceiving. It is obvious that the KGB had at its disposal many more samples of my handwriting and signature in the letters that passed through the censor, among them my return address, which they accurately reproduced. They were equally skilled at forging my signature...
