...statistics from the depths of a recession-but they were for January, the coldest month in 177 years in the eastern two-thirds of the nation. Exports fell almost $1.7 billion below imports, the worst one-month trade deficit ever: shippers could not get export goods out through frozen ports, and more oil had to be imported to keep homes warm. The index of leading indicators-those figures that usually foretell the course of the economy-dropped 1.2%, and factory orders fell 2.1%. The figures, says one Government analyst, "reflect rock bottom, and things should be improving fast from here...
Mildred Thompson's sculptures are like frozen tree-spirits in classical Greek mythology--half-close your eyes and stand back from a cluster of them and you could almost imagine the room was filled with figures that are half-human, half-tree, but all energy trapped beneath the wood surface. This exhibition in Hilles consists of smooth-oiled spruce statues and murals with names like Frozen Banner or La Primavera or Full Orchestration. They are abstractions of abstractions, the work of an artist who declares "I never knew an artist in my life". They are a perfect symbiosis between function...

...sense of horror is perhaps best described by the apocryphal tale of a freezer in Amin's house that contains the heads of his most distinguished victims, including the former Chief Justice; from time to time, the story goes, Amin walks over to the freezer to lecture his frozen audience about the evils of their ways. A former Amin aide who escaped to Kenya last year described Ugandan life to TIME Correspondent William McWhirter last week: "You are walking, and any creature making a step on the dry grass behind you might be an Amin man. Whenever you hear...
Future modifications and money saving programs under study by Food Services include the possible replacement of the frozen liquid concentrate coffee, known to be labeled "sheep dip," now used by most dining halls. In its place would go coffee similar to that now served at Adams House. While the ground coffee is overwhelmingly more popular than the liquid concentrate, the capital investment for machines and additional labor may nip the proposal...
