MURDER IN THE MALL Paula Clouse, 43, and her 15-year-old son were among the dozen patrons who turned up last Tuesday at the Metro North Mall in Kansas City, Missouri, for the 5:20 p.m. showing of Robin Hood: Men in Tights. About 25 minutes after the theater darkened, the teenager allegedly took out a handgun and pumped four bullets into his mother's head. The boy then left the theater and strolled into the mall, followed by stunned onlookers. An arrest swiftly followed, but police have yet to come up with a motive...
...Parisian painting, Dubuffet had a comparable effect at the end of World War II. One critic headlined a review, in imitation of the Dubonnet ads one used to see on the Metro, UBU -- DU BLUFF -- DUBUFFET, and others were not wrong in detecting, in Dubuffet's entranced and ironic use of thick pastes, an excremental vision parallel to Jarry's. One of the portraits of French intellectuals in his extravagantly controversial 1947 show at the Galerie Rene Drouin depicted the Surrealist writer Georges Limbour under the title Limbour Fashioned from Chicken Droppings.

That's why previous efforts to merge TV and telephone interests have been relatively modest. Earlier this year, Southwestern Bell acquired two cable systems in the metro Washington area -- far outside its operating region. Similarly, Pacific Telesis took an option to buy a cable system in Chicago, although it will need special permission to send cable programming to the system by satellite.

...alternative was a hospice in Atlanta, where the Mirins' nephew lived and where they had already purchased their grave sites. Metro Hospice brought to their nephew's home a wheelchair, hospital bed, special padding, oxygen. They provided care and pain medication during Maxine's last four days. "She was not able to talk, but she was able to hold her hand out to me. She knew I was there and that I loved her and valued her life." Mirin was charged "not even 10 cents" for the service; it was all covered by Medicare...
...that end, one clever madrileno revised a "KKK" graffito by changing the first K to a Y and consequently rendering the Invisible Empire as YKK, the international zipper concern. The sole defacement of one spiffy Barcelona metro stop declares, "!NAZIS NO!" In the United States we face racial and ethnic problems of our own, but most Americans, I think, avoid responding to far-right sentiment not because they agree with it but because they consider it simply too marginal to merit any attention. Either politically mainstream Spaniards like to vandalize subways, or the sentiment they observe seems to them...
