...them in, Morandi drew chalk circles around the bases of his "models" on the surface of the table.) Sometimes the things have the look of architecture; the slender bottle necks, leaning together, vaguely recall the towers of Bologna and San Gimignano. Occasionally their groups, bound together by some mutual gravitation of shape, might remind one of people insecurely huddled on the edge of Morandi's small flat earth, the tabletop...
...facing special tests, he was merely "taken to the woodshed"; the week after we were treated to newspaper pictures showing the budget director working alongside Republican congressmen. Firing Allen will be, instead, the result of White House infighting. It is no secret that Allen and Haig share a mutual dislike. The two have been bickering and fighting ever since Reagan took office, and Haig is much more crucial to Reagan's foreign policy than Allen.

They should devise new options for mutual benefit. And they should rely on "objective criteria" in reaching compromises. Diplomats--of the household and international variety--who stick to these four rules can present "yesable propositions" to their adversaries, Fisher promises. But Getting to YES does little more than cite endless hypothetical examples showing the merits of those four principles. Obviously, diplomats at all levels should consider their adversaries' interests too; equally obviously, imaginative compromises...
