...Northern Ireland is so great that it is almost meaningless to speak of Ulster's people solving their problems among themselves. Britain is in control of roughly 45 per cent of the manufacturing firms in Northern Ireland that employ 500 or more workers. Great Britain's expenditures in the form of loans and aid to Northern Ireland amounted to more than 35 million pounds ($771 million) in 1973-74; for 1974-75 it was about 400 million pounds ($884 million); and according to Home Secretary Stanley H. Orme's predictions, it will be "well over 450 million pounds" ($995 million...

The shapes of his pictures, meanwhile, were becoming more geometric as the Pop references vanished. A 1966 work entitled A Whole Year, Half a Day, which contained a set of twelve rectangles with increasingly large diagonal "bites" taken out of them, marked Smith's growing interest in the canvas as membrane-a surface stretching topographically over a built-up support, giving a suave...
...Allies' noble crusade. "There was a lot more bitterness in World War II than historians allow-basically the men were bitter at getting their asses shot off." Novelists and film makers have captured this side of the war, but Jones wanted to cast it in nonfictional form for the public record. Three decades after V-J Day, he still decries facile nostalgia and idolatry: "It is quite a romantic subject, provided it was not staring you in the face...
