Only in the painting category did the seven-member international jury, representing six European nations, give the top nod to something beyond the pale look of art already seen. Argentina's Le Pare, 37, won the $3,225 grand international prize for his motorized op-skip-and-jump works, which bobble and bounce ping-pong balls behind eye-boggling Plexiglas screens. A nonplused, partisan pop dealer could only remark that Le Fare's art reminded him of "F.A.O. Schwarz on the 23rd of December." Le Pare was just as much amazed when he heard of his win, while...
...their experience 15 years ago in Italy, which was then a developing nation itself in need of dams and bridges in the north and land-reclamation projects in the south. Gaining knowledge and also running out of contracts at home, the Italians began bidding on projects abroad, got the jump on other foreign builders. Italian laborers were willing to put in longer hours and tours of duty than workers of other nations, and Italian managers were willing to take profits of less than 5% in hopes of getting additional work near...
...targeting of the U.S. bombers, as a population center is probably safer than any place in South Viet Nam today, its atmosphere is hardly conducive to clearheaded armchair generalship.

...Financial Suicide." Untried rookies collected up to $600,000 in bonuses-infuriating established stars, who began playing out their options so they could jump to the other league for more money. "What can you do," asked A.F.L. Commissioner Al Davis, "when a kid who doesn't know beans about pro football but makes twice as much money as you do tells you to go to hell?" Club owners began to panic. "We were getting near financial suicide," says N.F.L. Commissioner Pete Rozelle. And fans grew disgusted. "The whole sport," says Rozelle, "was beginning to look pretty shabby...
Student Rush. The jump in joblessness was caused almost wholly by full-time students looking for short-time work-high school and college youngsters who began last month to seek summer employment. Even more of them are scouting around this month, and unemployment could rise further in June but later drop off. This is, of course, an annual, seasonal phenomenon. Last year unemployment fell from 4.8% in April to 4.4% in May, then hit 5.5% in June before tumbling to 4.6% in July. This year's pattern is likely to be somewhat different because many students went job hunting...
