...parties. The material they delivered was pretty tame. Freidin and the woman who succeeded him as the second Chapman's friend, Lucianne Cummings Goldberg, reported the candidate's latest speeches, activities and statements to Chotiner. Freidin added some analysis of his own. John Mitchell called the material "junk," and it appears that nothing really confidential or damaging was sent...
Millions of Americans have become virtually addicted to "junk food" as exemplified by McDonald's menu. "The food is good and the price is right," observes Pete DeKramer, an IBM programmer of Mahwah, N.J. David Green, a night, auditor in San Francisco, is enthusiastic: "McDonald's is my favorite place to eat in the whole world. I've eaten at McDonald's all around the country. I wouldn't move to any town that didn't have...
...chronicles the highly unbelievable exploits of a female superagent (Tamara Dobson) who is black, tough, gorgeous and invincible-not necessarily in that order. Cleopatra, who is referred to as "wonder woman," is particularly concerned with quashing dope traffic in the ghetto, and the movie manages to be effective anti-junk propaganda without getting sanctimonious about it.

What Dada did was to release art from the burden of its exclusive past in order to find it everywhere--thought was relative, logic false, final truth non-existent, morality but a plague produced by the intelligence, art meaningless. Duchamp's bottle rack read "art is junk" and his urinal "art is a trick." Nothing was real or true except the individual pursuing his whim, the artist bestriding his Dada. Dada overturned any object, mocked it and displaced it as an experiment in apprehending it. Yet beneath the Dadaist irony lay a desperate protest. Dada was an act of rebellion...
