...woman who checks off the names--the one sitting at the desk--smiles and winks at him. Then the greyish, plump one who serves the french onion dip giggles, when Corbat quips something that's not-so-funny. And during lunch, a man who also works in the dining room--he's the aged guy, with a slightly arched back who stands around in his red coat--comes over to Corbat and gives him some present all wrapped up in tinfoil. The guy in the red coat paternally pats him on the shoulder and walks away...
...political picture, but only Russians can do it effectively. This involves a steady sequence of double takes: Just how serious are these guys, anyway? One can imagine some good apparatchik responding without irony to K&M's appalling View of the Kremlin in a Romantic Landscape, its gold onion domes and pink ramparts and red star floating on a sea like the isle of Cythera itself, framed by a "classical" Poussinesque clutter of arching trees, fallen columns and pediments and other bric-a-brac.

Millions of acres of northern land would be flooded, including great tracts of game forest. Towns and villages would disappear, some of them with onion-domed churches dating back to the Middle Ages. No less disturbing, the diversion could drastically alter climate not only in the Soviet Union but throughout the Northern Hemisphere, even as far off as the U.S. and Canada...
...will again challenge the parole reversal, arguing that the reliance on public opinion is unconstitutional. Fain is not the only California prisoner with a direct stake in the outcome. Another is Gregory Powell, whose murder of a Los Angeles policeman was the basis of Joseph Wambaugh's The Onion Field. He is due for release in June. Sirhan Sirhan, Robert Kennedy's assassin, becomes eligible for parole in 1984, and somewhat further in the future, Murderer Charles Manson too may be up for consideration. But if their fates are in the public's hands, they should...
