...NOTEBOOK: With his motto "The Eastern League is all that matters for the playoffs," Park will hurl Larry Brown (5-0) and Steve Baloff (2-0) in the Saturday doubleheader against Dartmouth at Soldiers Field.

Whatever his private anguish at having left the Soviet Union may be, Mikhail Baryshnikov's professional motto must be "Don't look back." Last week, in an American Ballet Theater premiere at Washington, D.C.'s Kennedy Center, he took Don Quixote, a favorite Russian ballet little known in this country, and turned it into-a classical vaudeville? A romantic comedy? A Broadway musical en pointe? The new Don Q is in part all of these, a marvel of speed, timing and razzle-dazzle. The setting is Spanish and the tradition Russian, but the flavor is distinctly American...
...SEEMS FUNNY that Hemingway, who is certainly not the best American writer of this century, should have such an effect on so many young authors. Hemingway drones below the line on every page, and his themes, coarsely described as the West Point motto--Duty, Honor, Country--are also O'Brien's.

As Michael Herr said in his excellent book of reporting on the war, Dispatches, the crazy war in Vietnam and the equally crazy cultural revolution here both...
...personality, Trudeau and Lévesque are almost exact opposites. Canada's Prime Minister is cerebral, disciplined, removed, impatient with his intellectual inferiors. His personal motto is "Reason over passion." Trudeau is a political theorist turned political activist who thinks of himself as a philosopher-statesman. His public speeches frequently sound like university lectures. First elected Prime Minister in 1968, partly because of his Kennedy-like charismatic appeal, he has seldom been far from the front pages, some of which he would prefer to have avoided?most notably those recounting the stormy breakup last spring of the marriage to his young...
What the spy trade calls ELINT (for electronic intelligence) seems limited only by the range of the human imagination; it is a tinkerer's dream so long as intelligence wizards bear in mind the unofficial motto of space age spying: think big and think dirty. But all their gadgets, no matter how effective and sophisticated, are unlikely to make the man in the trenchcoat obsolete. Satellites and planes and bugs might dig up secret information faster, but HUMINT (for human intelligence) is needed to interpret it, and to decide what to do next...
