...recent years. Until her Olympic appearance, one ideal had been sacrificed to the other. But grace and athleticism are not mutually exclusive, as Witt convincingly proved. Her free-skating program was the most technically difficult of all the competitors, and included three triple jumps and a triple toe loop in combination with a double jump that she performed faultlessly in the opening seconds. With that difficult maneuver safely tucked away on the judges' scorecards, she broke into a radiant smile that never faded through a medley of mostly Gershwin songs.

...Metrorail still expects to open its second segment, a ten-mile extension to the largely Cuban community of Hialeah, on time this year. In addition, Miami is planning to have by 1985 a 1.9-mile-long "people mover"-automated trains that will shuttle 41,000 commuters daily in a loop around the city's developing downtown...
Most basic of all, perhaps, are questions about who is making U.S. policy, whatever that policy is.

In 1954 Walter Gropius came to Japan to give a series of lectures, only to discover that an extraordinary loop of adaptation had taken place. What Gropius liked in Japan was its traditional architecture, epitomized by the Katsura Imperial Villa in Kyoto. The kind of modernism he stood for was heavily indebted to Japanese sources, transmitted to Germany nearly 50 years before by Frank Lloyd Wright, not just in details...
