...summary, the State Department should desist from denying other people their right of self-determination. The State Department should stop kidding benevolent American taxpayers--to whom we owe our sincere gratitude--into believing that it is combating Communism in Africa. The U.S. government is only massacring Africans who never heard of Communism nor are even threatened by Communism. We loathe Communism as much as we abhor U.S. military intervention in African affairs. However, should the U.S. continue to massacre the ignorant Africans, then we will be forced to ask Communist countries that are equally strong to save us from this...
Sheeler's fame in U.S. art history is already assured. Hard-edge and pop artists today acknowledge that they owe a clear debt to him. But he was "deeply moved by the response of the youngest generation," aged seven to twelve years, who have rated him No. 1 among such company as Cézanne, Franz Kline, Ben Shahn, Van Gogh and Robert Indiana.

The organization is the International Development Association, a branch of the World Bank founded in 1960 by 15 World Bank member nations to make "soft," easy-term loans-with no political strings attached-to poor nations. Last week IDA reached a milestone when the total it has loaned passed $1 billion...
This bizarre collection of hard-selling creatures all work for-and owe their existence to-a rather harmless-looking fellow named George Lesch, Colgate's president. While not exactly a white knight, Lesch, 55, has certainly proved to be something of a whirling tornado at the U.S.'s second largest soap company (first: Procter & Gamble...
