Nevertheless, it is strange that in the U.S., where every kind of primitive art from Nigerian to Alaskan has been exhaustively studied and consumed, so little attention has been paid to Aboriginal art. Something so old is very new -- at least in America. Hence the fascination of "Dreamings: The Art of Aboriginal Australia," on view at the Asia Society Galleries in New York City through Dec. 31. This show of some 100 paintings and carvings, the older ones in earth colors on bark, the more recent in modern acrylic pigments on canvas or panel, was mainly lent by the South...
Foreign enterprises are fueling much of the U.S. takeover activity, mainly because the weak dollar makes U.S. assets bargains.

...Robinson, with 22 years of seniority, feels secure in his GM production job and agrees with Bush about capital punishment. But he will vote Democratic this time because he fears that Reaganomics is ruining American industry. James and Martha Hurry are doing all right today; their snug bungalow was paid off many years ago, and they receive $20,000 a year in pension payments. But Hurry, 72, worries about being wiped out financially if he has to enter a nursing home. He repents his vote for Reagan because "ten years ago, I thought I was pretty well...
