Presidential Aide Alexander Haig's declarations fit the script of unreality. He reported a President confident that history would vindicate him. He said that the office of the presidency had not been immobilized, that Nixon was not despondent. His was the portrait of a man only moderately troubled, hardly diminished. The declarations were greeted with the tolerant disbelief that characterizes this singular season. Haig's responses are those of honor, deeply rooted in his West Point heritage; of a loyal and brave officer following his commander anywhere. The anguish and frustration are behind his eyes and his voice...
...informal remarks did Coase specify what kind of regulation he had in mind. Rather, he talked of a "real law that would actually regulate what people say." He believes that the "market for ideas," to which journalism belongs, is economically motivated, like the market for goods, and therefore as fit for public regulation as railroads or drug companies. "I do not believe that this distinction between the market for goods and the market for ideas is valid," he declared...
John Sirica does not readily fit the heroic mold. He speaks softly and in inelegant phrases studded with "Ya know what I mean" and "You know me." The judicial sternness of his photographs gives way in person to an unpretentious openness, conveying his wonder at all the attention he is receiving.

He usually takes his dip after a midnight-to-3 a.m. practice session. Then he retires around 5 a.m. and rises at 3 the next afternoon. "I had to wait until I was 58 years of age till I reached the height of my usefulness," Fox explains. "People need Bach and God, and there ain't one violinist or singer that can give the sweeping feeling an organist can. I play...
...some of his paintings were moving away from the strict line-and-rectangle grid. Black-White Duet with Red, 1953 (see cut), loosens the bond. Instead of Mondrian's delicately balanced, off-center compositions, a kind of symmetry prevails: the skewed, hefty profiles of black and white fit together like a Yin-Yang symbol as revised by a locksmith. "I liked what Mondrian had discovered - the interchangeability of form and space," Smith recalls. "But I wanted to apply that to free form...
