...raised to venerate age and all that jazz it would be hard to feel any rush of attraction to this man who eyes the camera with all the vivacity of a flounder. This issue he describes "How I spent my Summer Vacation." In Harvard Expository Writing classes even freshmen flee from this uninspiring topic, but Colacello is raring...
...black community, unable to afford private education or flee to the suburbs, became Hirsehmann's captive dissenters who had no choice but to seek reform. During the '60s, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was the leading school reform organization in the city. But unfortunately, as Mary Ellen Smith, executive director of the community oriented City-Wide Educational Coalition (CWEC), said. "In the midst of the civil rights fights desegregation became integrally linked with reforms of the schools." Racism frustrated attempts to upgrade the education of black as well as white children.

Stroszek. The latest film bearing the stamp of the trendy German director, Werner Herzog, is an appropriate exhibit of what happens when the filmmaker pours his innards into the camera and lets the script slide.

They either flee or go into a trance-like state, refuse to eat and die. Brown has sold some 12,000 of his zappers, at prices from $350 to $1,000. Among his customers: the U.S. Marine base at Camp Pendleton, Calif., where two AMIGOS cleared a ten-acre parade field of gophers...
Vance's first stop was Alexandria, the 2,300-year-old metropolis of the Nile Delta, to which nearly 2 million Cairenes-among them Egyptian President Anwar badat-flee each summer to escape the capital's stifling heat. The Secretary, who suffers from a chronically bad back arrived fatigued from his 13-hour flight. Although he was limping slightly because of a calf muscle he had pulled the previous day in a tennis game with World Bank President Robert McNamara, he headed directly for Sadat's lavish four-story seaside villa. As Vance approached, Sadat began opening...
