...illustration of the hard-to-define attitude toward the United States is the presence of a sort of cult around the memory of John F. Kennedy in Eastern Europe. No one person I spoke with seemed to remember him fondly for any specific reason, but in almost uncanny fashion, several Poles, Czechs, and East Germans described in vivid detail their recollections of the day Kennedy was assasinated. And somehow, even for those who know of and oppose the policies he pursued, he stands as a positive symbol, a symbol of good. Perhaps the same Kennedy phenomenon exists elsewhere...
...effect. Working out of the I-formation, but 81 threw a key block, wiping out the left land. Using an intercom system for a huddle the next five buses made their move, sweeping and leaving an array of stalled cars in the wake of their fumes. In a systematic fashion the convoy weaved its way through the opposing traffic; gainers interspersed with long breakdown lane sweeps...
Since he began taking pictures 33 years ago, Richard Avedon has been making shock waves with his camera. He was a highly innovative fashion photographer for Harper's Bazaar and Vogue, snapping his models in the midst of wild-eyed elephants or striding in the rain. But it was his still and startlingly somber portraiture of celebrities and friends that established him, along with Andre Kertesz, Irving Penn, Henri Cartier-Bresson, W.

And Avedon, one of the keen observers of the sexual revolution in America, only toys with what he could have said on the subject...
...their models. For decades now, however, these characters have only existed as TV cliches. The predictability is not just unfunny, it is infuriating. Big Eddie (Sheldon Leonard) is the semitough owner of a sports arena cut off the loud-checked Damon Runyon cloth. As a nod to more recent fashion, he has been given a hip black man as an assistant. But as the subliterary tradition to which he belongs insists, he is married to a wise-dumb ex-chorine, and they are warmhearted and lovable despite their grammatical struggles...
