...Michelle wins, her gray-haired, boyish-looking attorney stands to earn as much as $500,000 for his efforts. Grateful divorcees have been known to reward Mitchelson well: in one 1974 case that was worth $13 million to his client, Mitchelson got a fee of $1.25 million. The son of a schoolteacher and a building contractor, Mitchelson won a football scholarship to the University of Oregon, got his legal training at Southwestern University Law School in Los Angeles, and started out specializing in criminal and personal injury cases. He first gained attention in 1963 by winning a major right...
...million annual business, Woody Hayes continued to be backed by the administration. Critics with the temerity to question the university's sense of values in keeping on a man with such a temper were shouted down by the legions of his supporters. Some proudly wore scarlet and gray O.S.U. T shirts proclaiming: WOODY'S UNIVERSITY...
...tired gray lady of Philadelphia suddenly showed signs of youthful abandon. She underwent a facelift, retook her maiden name, and declared she would no longer laze around for half the day.

At Cape Cod, Meyerowitz tried to transmit the presence the land had for him, the precise quality of air and of color, which he defines as "a personal memory: light with meaning." The dim, pale loveliness of damp sand, weather-streaked concrete, blue shutters on gray clapboard siding, flourescent light in evening air, sunbathers, a colonnaded seaside porch, tide pools and the stray formations of boats seen from above -- these are Meyerowitz's chief subjects. The necessarily smaller show at the Harcus Krakow Gallery has fewer photographs, but features, in addition, a few pictures of empty swimming...
...peculiar rather than radical. Its main element is a 660-ft. glass slab laced into a Beaux-Arts, Manhattanist corset of pinky-gray granite. This shaft sits on an entrance block that is an enormous pastiche of the courtyard front of Brunelleschi's 15th century Pazzi Chapel in Florence. One cannot guess from drawings or models how well this will work. To take a small, private Renaissance chapel and inflate it to nearly the size of the Baths of Caracalla is the kind of perversity Johnson enjoys but has never been allowed to do on such a scale before...
