Henry Grunwald's Essay is a fitting finale to your memorable issue, but I do not agree with the rough translation of his father's poetic phrase "Deine Heimat ist wo das Glück dich gr??sst."

I think that expresses more accurately the reason immigrants want to make the U.S. their home. Sol Z. Abraham Denver...
...Erika Rothenberg created an acrylic in 1982 called Pushing the Right Buttons, a painting of two buttons, the one on top labeled "Launch" and the one beneath it "Lunch."

Deciding that the compound was a hazard to humans, the Environmental Protection Agency ordered DDT sales to be restricted in 1972 and banned its use in the U.S. except in cases of sudden serious epidemic...
...between 54 and 58 punches each round. He works almost exclusively inside, crouching and always moving in to slam the body. When the pummeling begins to slow his opponent, when the guard drops to protect the stomach, Frazier tosses a murderous left hook to the head. His coup de gr??ce is lethal. "Getting hit by Joe," says Light Heavyweight Ray Anderson, one of Frazier's sparring partners, "is like getting run over by a bus." Some of his victims, like Light Heavyweight Champion Bob Foster, literally have no recollection of what hit them...
