Hopper paintings are not to be taken as quaint studies of Cape Cod dunes or static scenes of raucous city life. No drinkers carouse at Hopper's bars, no oil-skinned fishermen haul Hopper's nets. He is an intense artist of the arrested moment, of the intermission between Act I and Act II of a play still being written. In general, there is no joy in the contemplation; the past seems full but futile, the future bleak but bearable. In the meantime, Hopper proposes the lean, almost unnoticed consolation of street lamplight on brownstone, of sunlight...
...theme of Muskie's campaign will be slower to emerge. So far, he is relying heavily on his public image as a man of prudence and decency. Clearly, that will not be enough to sustain the long haul of a campaign. In his California appearances, Muskie seemed to confirm that while he can inspire confidence, he rarely arouses passion in his audiences. But his understated style can be eloquent.

They traveled 17.5 miles in the first car man has ever driven on the moon, took the first walk in deep space, and returned with a record-breaking haul of more than 170 lbs. of lunar rocks. But the really significant accomplishment of Apollo 15 was its scientific payoff, which in the words of Paul Cast, chief of lunar and planetary science at the Manned Spacecraft Center, will enable man to take "a real giant step in the understanding...
...meet the coal and ore import needs of the mills, Japanese steamship companies began chartering extra tonnage from foreign shipowners. As a result, almost all freight rates were pushed skyward. At the peak of the boom in 1969, the steamship companies were chartering Greek and Norwegian vessels to haul coal from Hampton Roads, Va., to Japan for the hungry steel mills at rates that gave the shipowners profits of as much...
