...friends, too many for Watson Rink to hold, will desert Lock-Obers and the Ritz in time for the 8 o'clock face-off however. The Harvard-Yale hockey game, long a boring rout, remains a prime social event for Harvard alumni who will clap politely through their martini-haze for every Harvard goal...
...first of the series, "End of the Brownstone Era or Tower of Babel," is a canvas crowded with the mass shapes of an urban nightmare. Harshly cubist in its leanings, the work centers on a large tower pricking its way from the sludge of sewers into a haze of pollution and demonic flame. This is Bruegel's Tower of Babel with a twentieth century difference. Lichtblau's shapes are coarser, more jagged, and her tower is crowded in by other towering and toppling refuse.

...civilest service of all? Many Frenchmen seem to think so, and there is a campaign building now to institutionalize the point. Back in the halcyon haze of the '20s and '30s maisons de tolérance such as the Sphinx, the Chabanais and above all the One-Two-Two (for 122 Rue de Provence) were Parisian tourist attractions outranking the Louvre and Napoleon's tomb.

Alleys are scenes of chaos, as dogs, children and chickens scurry amid garbage and rubble...
...first time in 25 years I'm seeing the world without an alcoholic haze," Richard Burton boasted last week. And all because wife Elizabeth bet her convivial Welshman that he couldn't abstain for three months. A trimmer Burton has not only won the wager (a kiss or something; he forgets), but has stretched his dry period to nearly six months. Lest his public misunderstand his sober ways, Burton begged his interviewer: "Please don't make me out to be against alcohol. I'll get all sorts of letters from the temperance people, and I certainly...
