...record from the Louisville, Kentucky, school system, where Wigand now teaches science and Japanese. The investigators may have thought they would turn Wigand's fellow educators against him. They were wrong. "Not all of us agree with what [Wigand] is doing," says Barbara Fendley, who supervises Wigand at DuPont Manual High School and is married to a tobacco farmer. "But we all support his right to do what he thinks is right. We're bigger than Brown & Williamson...
...Minutes last month as he offered up potentially devastating inside information about the machinations of his former employer, tobacco giant Brown & Williamson. Then there is the somewhat antic teacher his high school students know and love. One day recently he was darting about the dingy science classroom at DuPont Manual High School in Louisville, Kentucky, like a gnome on triple espresso, questioning and wisecracking in his rapid-fire Bronx rasp as 30 ninth-grade advanced physical-science students went over results of field research. DuPont principal Beverly Keepers remembers walking in one time on Wigand, who holds a Ph.D...
With Pat Buchanan sucking up all the available oxygen on social issues, the President made a grab for two last week--issuing a six-page manual urging public schools to adopt uniforms, and shaming network execs into labeling their programs.

One of her many jobs: at airports, she would call Washington, take down the day's news clippings in shorthand, then type them up on the plane on a portable manual typewriter. She also traveled with Nixon's victorious 1968 campaign. Buchanan and his future wife met in New York City in 1967 when both worked at Nixon's law firm. In 1969 she became the presidential gatekeeper ("Now the place had a touch of class," recalls Pat). They were married...
...slightly spotted; he is real," said Sloan approvingly of a visiting Irish painter, J.B. Yeats, father of the poet. Luks boasted that he could paint with a shoestring dipped in lard and tar. The artist, smearing oily gunk on a cloth with bristles, is immersed in mess--a manual worker of images. This makes him one with the city and its people. For poetic spirit, he should emulate Walt Whitman, learning to embrace the body of the city and contain multitudes, dirt and all. The masculine realism of Winslow Homer inspired all the Ashcan artists--they, especially Henri and Bellows...
