...Scale to No. 6. As for that intimate, inside look at the life and times of black people, Julia seems more like The Wonderful World of Color. In one episode, when a character conveniently named Potts makes a slighting reference about Negroes, Julia delivers her big punch line: "Is Potts calling the black a kettle?" Producer Kanter promises more of this hard-hitting social commentary in forthcoming shows. "In one program," says Kanter, "there's a Negro male who's a failure and blames it all on his being colored.

Hickel is pushing his longtime dream of extending the Alaska Railroad beyond its present Fairbanks terminal all the way to the Arctic Sea. Washington's Department of Transportation, which runs...
...FIRST GLANCE, there appears to be little relationship between the line drawings of a cartoon such as Nancy and Sluggo, and the Old English lettering of the banner of the newspaper in which the cartoon happens to be running. But there is a crucial connection between good cartoonery and fine calligraphy, and David McClelland's one-man show at Adams House proves this...
