...quickly learning the arts of duplicitous reporting. Then he stumbles onto a small fortune in bank notes that have been salvaged from bombed Guernica. Postponing his career in intelligence, he meanders around Spain for most of a year on a donkey named Fred-after Astaire because of its jug ears-and later holes up in Madrid for two years until the cash runs out. It is then that he goes to work for the Abwehr. The Germans like Luis mainly because he speaks English volubly and can make change from ten bob for a threepenny Cadbury...
...California's largest family-owned wineries; of cancer; in Sonoma, Calif. An informal patriarch who preferred the outdoors and overalls to office life, he took over the modest business founded by his Italian immigrant father in 1944 and greatly expanded production to include 24 wines ranging from "jug" types to premium varietals. When the U.S. wine industry started to boom in the '70s, other vinicultural pioneers began cashing in their holdings; not Sebastiani. Said he: "I would as soon sell my children as my vineyard...
There has been a dramatic improvement in table wines throughout the price spectrum. It is a truism that today's "jug" wines -bottles containing 1.75 liters at prices ranging from $3.50 to $5-are superior to the more expensive premium wines of a decade ago and right-years better than the vin ordinaire that gurgles by the gallon down French gullets.

They are single images, enumerations of ordinary objects-a battered pair of black shoes, a stoneware jug, or a bunch of asparagus tied in blue paper set down with an odd, veiled discomposure. The size of the painting laconically follows the size of its subject. Isolated and closely scrutinized, these motifs give Arikha's canvases a likeness (insofar as painting can ever resemble writing) to the elliptical sentences of his friend Samuel Beckett...
...excellent beaches near by. It has two three-star hotels, the Mojácar and the Moresco ($25 for a double with bath). Dinner for two at several good restaurants should cost $15 to $20, while the beach cafes will serve a lunch of fried fish, paella, salad and a jug of wine for half that. Farther up the coast are Puerto de Mazarron and La Manga del Mar Menor, which has a new casino and two championship golf courses. In most villages there are summer festivals, many celebrating the lively local folk arts...
