...immigrants in the past 100 years. There are over 200 works by 67 artists−no more than a handful by any one person−strung out between way stations of information about immigration quotas and the rise of the Third Reich, sum-ups of the Bauhaus and Black Mountain College. The result is an assault upon both the mind and the eye. The frenzy of impressions obscures, unintentionally perhaps, the weakness in the show's premise: if America is a nation of immigrants, then a collection of immigrant work is little more than a somewhat arbitrary survey...
Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, baseball's first iron-fisted commissioner, could hardly have put the case more toughly. Left unmentioned in Kuhn's decision was a major worry. Some 55 players, many of them the game's most valuable, will be free agents once the season is over. The wheeling and dealing then could make the Tuesday Night Massacre look like a taffy pull...
...cold mountain passes across the border, Syrian infantrymen were bundled up in winter-issue overcoats. As I drove nearer to Beirut, the army seemed to be everywhere. Several damaged tanks-three bearing scars of rocket hits-were on flat-bed trailer trucks heading back toward the border; Red Crescent ambulances raced by with wounded in the back.

Berlinguer, who becomes a magnetic orator on the campaign trail, is using his notoriety to flail Christian Democrats "who have enjoyed and enjoy enormous positions...
...Valley, followed by Mouton-Rothschild '70, Haut-Brion '70 and Montrose '70. The four winning whites were, in order, Chateau Mont-helena '73 from Napa, French Meursault-Charmes '73 and two other Californians, Chalone '74 from Monterey County and Napa's Spring Mountain '73. The U.S. winners are little known to wine lovers, since they are in short supply even in California and rather expensive ($6 plus). Jim Barrett, Monthelena's general manager and part owner, said: "Not bad for kids from the sticks...
