...darkening sky over hot, humid Alexandria a crescent moon glided toward the evening star, a pattern suggesting an Islamic flag. When U.S. Secretary of State Cyrus Vance arrived in that ancient Mediterranean city last week, few could imagine that Ramadan's omen of peace and tranquillity would bear fruit. Yet by the time Vance took off for Washington two days later, an extraordinary effort to revive the peace talks had begun. Like Israeli Premier Menachem Begin, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat had accepted Jimmy Carter's invitation to attend a trilateral summit meeting on Sept. 5 at Camp David...
...were the last St. Patrick's Day, later forming a conga line on Main Street. At midmorning, in Washta (pop. 319), Joyce Johnson and friends from the United Methodist Church sold 600 Ibs. of hamburger and 400 Ibs. of hot dogs, 1,500 pieces of fruit, 7,000 candy bars and close to 280 cases of soda (no beer); the women figured on a $2,000 profit for the church.

She spends much of her time making telephone calls, doing puzzles, knitting, nibbling on mints and eating ordinary hospital food (a typical lunch: steak and kidney pie with mashed potatoes, followed by fruit tart). Occasionally, added the Evening Chronicle, she has become weepy and depressed, and was briefly worried, until reassured by other expectant mothers, about the seemingly small size of the baby in relation to the weeks of pregnancy. Steptoe apparently tried to get her to stop smoking, but she still sneaks...
...with fauna, so with flora. Dried leaves, cacti, moss, shrubs, tree trunks: the vegetable kingdom was there in quantity. Usually these pieces were mock-scientific-prolix classifications of fruit stains or upside-down plants at the Dutch pavilion, or, at the French, Roy Adzak's archaeological pastiche of fruit and vegetables embedded in plaster. In the Finnish pavilion, a sculptor named Olavi Lanu set forth a whole environment called Life in the Finnish Forest-blurred human figures made of earth, live moss, birch bark and other organic material. Granted that these quaint vegetative trolls would have looked better...
