...year an even larger show opens in Paris. Brassai is back now in a big way largely because of his fascination with the world after dark in Paris between the wars. Though he stopped taking pictures in the early 1960s, until his death in 1984 he produced a steady output of memoirs, literary reflections and new collections of his old photographs. And in 1976 came the long-delayed The Secret Paris of the 30's, a collection of photographs taken largely in the 1930s but never published before. A glimpse of the mostly unseen side of prewar Paris--brothels...
Manufacturing output and employment are being hurt by the rise in imports and drop in exports. But, Reaser points out, manufacturing "accounts for less than one-fifth of the total U.S. economy." Rising consumer spending has kept the other 80% growing, thanks in her opinion largely to the "wealth effect"--that is, the tendency of rising stock prices to make people feel richer and able to spend freely, even if many of their gains remain on paper. Reaser notes that retail sales rose strongly early in 1998 along with the booming market, faltered in late summer as stock prices dived...
...slowdown that does not turn into a recession, Bergsten warns, is still likely to lead to "a very significant increase in U.S. trade protection." Even a modest slowing of output and rise in unemployment, he fears, will be widely blamed on cheap imports. The Clinton Administration may give in to protectionism to please the AFL-CIO, which it is " beholden to" for the Democratic successes in the November elections. Hormats voiced fears that protection is all too likely to win support from the Republican right, now a stronghold of economic nationalism, as well as the Democratic left, creating a strange...
...almost two years, and TERRENCE MALICK, the anti-social filmmaker who hasn't directed a movie or agreed to be photographed (until now) in 20 years. Malick has made only two films, Badlands and Days of Heaven, but his reputation has grown in inverse proportion to his output, enabling him to draw Sean Penn, John Travolta, George Clooney and Woody Harrelson to Australia to shoot The Thin Red Line, due out at Christmas, about the 1942 battle for Guadalcanal. Look for Jean-Claude Van Damme in a Thomas Pynchon-scripted vehicle next summer...
However, Miller also said that the errors had been accounted for and that the system was running smoothly by Nov. 17. Were the above 100 percent readings three days later just a fluke, or were they the output of a normally functioning system? What's truly going on? Perhaps inquiries should be forwarded to British mathematician Andrew Wiles, who gained celebrity for his complicated proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, to see if he can provide a solution. Of course, I myself have discovered a remarkable little explanation, but unfortunately this column is too short to contain...
