...rise. He moved, as befits a star of the late show, through TV. With an expenditure of about $13,500 in Nebraska, mostly for TV (v. nearly $100,000 for Nixon), and without personal appearances, Reagan captured 22% of the vote-an amazing and significant showing, as Republican Governor Norbert Tiemann put it. Tiemann, to be sure, exaggerated Reagan's performance. Nebraska is Tory turf, and Reagan's conservative theme was more enthusiastically received there than it might have been elsewhere. Still, even Nixon was forced to admit that the Californian did "very well...
...before the "Harlem Renaissance" of the '20s Negroes had poets and writers, while black doctors, scientists and inventors made important contributions to post-Civil War technological advances. Jan Ernst Matzeliger, a native of Dutch Guiana, laid the foundations of the shoe in dustry with his shoe-lasting machine, Norbert Rillieux greatly lowered the price of sugar with a new refining technique, and Garrett Morgan introduced a number of life-saving devices, not least of which was the traffic signal.

"It's all on the basis of what the traffic will bear," explains Los Angeles Tobacco Distributor Norbert Orens. "Cigarette prices are not pre-marked with a manufacturer's price, so it's easy...
Newest discovery is "Brutalist" Norbert Tadeusz, son of a Polish-descended Dortmund coal miner; only one year out of the Düsseldorfs liberal Academy of Fine Arts, he has already been represented in nine shows, become a collector's favorite. Tadeusz' teacher, Joseph Beuys, is also out of the ordinary. A onetime Hitler Youth and World War II Stuka pilot, Beuys has undergone a characteristic postwar metamorphosis to become Düsseldorfs reigning neo-Dada hero. He is celebrated for his Chaplinesque smile, battered Homburg, octopuslike drawings, sculptures made of chocolate and lard, for the splendiferous happenings...
