...eroded more pan-European illusions. In 1971 France dropped its longstanding opposition to British membership in the Community, and Britain, along with Ireland and Denmark, formally joined in 1973. The expansion of a formerly tightly knit group offered enlarged economic possibilities, but also hampered cohesion. The original spirit of joint sacrifice splintered in frequent acrimony, especially after the two oil-price shocks of the decade weakened West European economies. By the early '80s, the once solid NATO consensus on defense also came under strain as a result of the drawn-out missile-deployment drama...
...Hispanics in the U.S. "live in two worlds," says Alex Pallete of the Hispanic ad agency Vidal Partnership. But their Latin world is remarkably diverse, which means that advertisers must hit common cultural cues and appeal to U.S. Latinos' shared values and experiences-like close-knit families or having loved ones in another country-while reinforcing the brand identities that Hispanics recognize.

His corduroy pants, tapering to his ankles, look either vintage '80s or just unfashionable--it's hard to tell. His sweatshirt sleeves are pulled up to his elbows to show off the intricate tattoo that covers his right forearm...
...single best work, a painting, hangs at the Samson Projects. Entitled “A Blaze of Glory, Flame Red Double Knit,” it depicts, on a shiny canvas, two women in red, their bodies cropped from mid-thigh to collarbone. The detail is luminous, close to photographic; each wrinkle in the outfits is executed with finesse, while the bodies of the women are mysterious and elegant. It calls into question the status of the faceless females without making the statement on feminine identity and body image too obvious...
