...shish-kebab cart. The Greek couple that presided over this cart took about a minute and a half to pull some marinated beef off their grill and onto a hero roll, cover it with lettuce and tomatoes, sauteed onions and peppers and paint a little extra marinade on the inside of the roll. I had roast pheasant with truffles once, at a famous French restaurant, and it was almost as good as that hero...
...story across the country were well aware that this was a subject that mattered to every body-including them. Correspondent BJ. Phillips, newly arrived in Atlanta from New York City and in need of a car, took a look at costs and opted for a new engine and paint job for the 1951 Ford that once belonged to her grandfather. Chicago's Gary Ruderman signed closing papers on a 60-year-old gingerbread frame house last week. Avoiding the lofty loan rates of local banks, Ruderman financed the house with the aid of a 5% mortgage from the seller...

Primitivism owes its prestige, in the West, to modernism...
...does Pollock no service to idolize him. This point is that he grasped his limitations and refused to mannerize them. Thus he was by no means a natural draftsman, and his best paintings of the early '40s, like the She-Wolf or Male and Female, are set down with terrible earnest ness but with no graphic facility. When he set up a repeated frieze of drawn motifs, as in the mural he did for Peggy Guggenheim in 1943, the result-as drawing-was rather monotonous. But when he found he could throw lines of paint...
