...their reuseable cups--have mugs or glasses that you can use. Bring your own mug for take-out coffee--it's nicer than paper anyway. Save old handouts and notices and write your rough-drafts of papers, problem sets or letters on the back of them, instead if using fresh paper. Take lecture notes on both sides of each sheet of paper in notebooks or yellow pads. Use handkerchiefs instead of paper tissues--they are cheaper; they don't break; they absorb well and they worked fine for our grandparents. Don't accept bags when you buy things--bring your...
...pictures made by photojournalists have the legitimacy of being news, fresh information. They slice along the hard edge of the present. Photojournalism is not self-conscious, since it first enters the room (the brain) as a battle report from the far-flung Now. It is only later that the artifacts of photojournalism sink into the textures of the civilization and tincture its memory: Jack Ruby shooting Lee Harvey Oswald, an image so raw and shocking, subsides at last into the ecology of memory where we also find thousands of other oddments from the time -- John John saluting at the funeral...
...fact that early next year Hungary is to have the most open balloting in the East bloc in four decades. At least a dozen parties will be competing with the Hungarian Socialist Party for the 374 seats in Parliament. Reformers within the Communist ranks contended that without a fresh image, they stand no chance at the polls.

The liberal, nationalistic Forum could continue...

When Rickie Lee Jones broke onto the scene with her surprising and successful 1979 debut album, she seemed to signal a fresh trail for rock. But uncertainty and self-destruction crowded close. An equivocal second album was followed by an enterprising third and diminishing commercial returns. Confusion enveloped her, and Jones seemed to lunge toward the flash point. Then she pulled back, in a two-step away from the brink, consolidating and reconsidering her work. With personal turmoil put in perspective, Jones produced a new life...
That credulity-stretching scenario was among the fresh revelations that spilled out last week in Washington during recriminations over the botched rebellion against Panamanian strongman Manuel Antonio Noriega. Those most to blame for the coup's collapse seemed to be the brave but muddled men who staged it. But congressional critics from both parties lambasted George Bush for failing to dispatch American troops to snatch the dictator and spirit him back to the U.S., where he is wanted on drug-trafficking charges. The White House in turn scolded Congress for trying to micromanage a fast-moving crisis and for hypocritically...
