Mathematics, rather than Cunningham's chance or game structures, underlies Dean's work. A frequent device is the repetition of sequences in units of arithmetical progression. For instance: 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64. Dean systematically explores the stage space using the most basic configurations: circles of varying breadth, columns and lines, an occasional diagonal. Clarity, precision--some viewers would say transcendence. Like a minimalist painter, Dean discovers meaning in subtle variations and trans-formations of repeated units. They are simple units immediately accessible to perception: one section consists of spinning, another of jumps...
...President dodged a few of the most direct thrusts. Yet he also frankly admitted that "we've made some mistakes" in slighting congressional leaders and vowed to make amends. Indeed, he showed through the week that he was learning fast. He pleased Senate Democratic Leader Robert Byrd by frequent calls for consultation. He moved to isolate Texas Congressman Jack Brooks, the most vocal opponent of the President's Government reorganization plans, by inviting the members of Brooks' Government Operations Committee to discuss his proposals at the White House.

Sarah Mleczko's victory over Becky Chase of Williams resembled the Coop during the first week of classes--plenty of hard-charging, unorthodox action and frequent collisions. Mleczko hustled and dove amidst the oft-tossed racquet of Chase to win 10-15, 16-15, 16-15, 15-17, to notch the other Crimson decision...
...upper-class Greek community to a state of near-impoverishment. The book is to a certain extent a biography of the entire family, for Cavafy (who never married, although he may have had heterosexual affairs in early manhood), lived with his mother until her death, and was in frequent contact with his six brothers--whose fortunes Liddell follows almost as assiduously as he does the poet's. And, while Cavafy was not entirely representative of his time, place and background, his story gives an indication of the life of Egypt's ingrown expatriate Greek community at the turn...
...Post newsboy when his father represented a Nebraska district in Congress, bought into the Post Co. in 1973, and perhaps to protect his 10.5% slice of nonvoting stock. has become virtually an unpaid Post Co. executive. He spends much of his time on company business and is a frequent Graham dinner guest. "Intellectually, he dominates her," comments one editor who knows them both. "You remember how her orientation changed to talking about stockholders, profits and the bottom line? That's Buffett's influence." Israel is said to have resented the Nebraskan's growing influence with Graham. Both...
