...central market, is built around the columns and arches of a Roman temple to Jupiter. Surrounding it are other suqs with countless hundreds of tiny shops offering everything from Persian carpets and Damascus silks to transistor radios. In the modern west end, tree-lined boulevards are full of patisseries, flower shops and fashionable boutiques, reminders of the days when Syria was a French mandate. There is little of Beirut's brilliant but plastic dolce vita atmosphere, yet plenty to suggest that Damascus and Syria are authentically Arab...
...cultural traditions were renewed. But it was a bleak existence for the prisoners, many of whom had previously enjoyed middle-class comfort. Professionals, such as doctors and lawyers, were paid $19 a month for serving fellow inmates; laborers received $12 to do menial work. Some residents took up sewing, flower arranging, making jewelry from sea shells-all to ward off the feeling of confinement. It was hardly a Nazi-style concentration camp, but armed guards and barbed wire were continual reminders of freedom denied...
...sought to avoid polarization and to capitalize on a "community of purpose." "Something for everyone" is ambitious, but not to be taken lightly. Worth a try?

The diversity of his work verges on disunity, and as with Allon's work, one senses the exploratory exercises of the craftsman rather than the developed and selective expression of the artist...
...public. His first stop was Phoenix, Ariz., where his audience of 13,000 at a Republican fund raiser was mostly friendly. But shouts of "Hail to the thief!" and rhythmic clapping from a handful of hecklers in the balcony rattled Nixon. His voice quavered, his hands tightly gripped the flower-bedecked lectern, and he occasionally mispronounced words. Still, cheers drowned out the boos when he said that he had furnished "all the relevant evidence" needed "to get Watergate behind us" and promised "to stay on this job." On Saturday, Nixon opened Expo '74 in Spokane, Wash., where he was welcomed...
