...award was once worth caring about. Since 1947, when the Italian film Shoeshine was the first foreign-language film to receive an Oscar, the category has honored both landmark art (The Bicycle Thief, Rashomon, Through a Glass Darkly, 8 1/2) and sophisticated diversion (Seven Samurai, Z, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, Day for Night). The Academy might err on the side of aesthetic conservatism; trailblazers such as Godard, Antonioni and Fassbinder were never so much as finalists for the prize, and directors like Bergman and Truffaut were cited years after their films had won critical acceptance.

...Star Wars threatens to upset deterrence and arms control alike. In his landmark speech unveiling his Strategic Defense Initiative (S.D.I.) in March 1983, Reagan said that his goal was to make nuclear weapons "impotent and obsolete."

On the one hand, Chavez and the others have achieved landmark contracts and won many battles in which the workingman had a heavy stake. On the other hand, they have alienated many from the organs of their supposed self-representation...
...clock, it has had a long and illustrious history. According to Baybank, in the early 60's an errant truck sidewsiped it, smashing the time-keeper but leaving the post intact. Similar tragedy befell the clock in 1964 when another semitrailer ran over the landmark demolishing both the clock, and its post. In July 1965, the bank reinstalled the clock one more time, but a Harvard Trust's distinctive clock is back in business...
