...Athenian nobleman at whose home he was tutored, of his involvement with the gross but practical Solon, of his fascination with the Helot Iona, who later becomes a leader of the rebellion. Interesting enough, but all this smacks of soap opera, and at any rate the young Agathon seems pale in comparison to what he becomes...
...menu is also twice as extensive. A silver-haired, grandmotherly woman will smile and bring you coffee while your waitress waddles over in her Elizabethan pantaloons. A glance down the menu reveals nothing exotic-just square Middle American fare. The only ethnic flavor maybe is a pale, faint hint of Pennsylvania Dutch that is suggested by the filling hot sandwiches and gravybread. The hot roast beef sandwich comes with a good bowl of French onion soup, the sopped bread floating on the top. Even if it does not quite match the Maitre Jacques version (it needs melted cheese), the soup...
...Algeria. Ghana, Laos and New Zealand. Most of the self-exiles are in their 20s and 30s. Many are well-educated professionals or highly skilled technicians. While some have already renounced their U.S. citizenship or plan to do so soon, most have no intention of surrendering their familiar pale blue, plastic-covered passports. Many of the new expatriates will return, as did most of the writers of the Parisian 1920s. Few give up all contact with the U.S.; some reflect not so much a rejection of the U.S. as a kind of psychic statelessness. Says one American writer now living...
...faced inward. "I have never," said his friend Jankel Adler, "seen a man who had such creative quiet. His face was that of a man who knows about day and night, sky and sea and air. I have often seen Klee's window from the street, with his pale oval face like a large egg, and his open eyes pressed to the windowpane." Yet his output was huge. Between Klee's birth in 1879 and his death from a wasting disease in a Swiss sanatorium 60 years later, he produced over 9,000 works. Perhaps one could...
...check whether life processes were indeed occurring above the earth, he used a chemical called TTC, which changes rapidly from pale yellow to pink when attacked by the enzymes produced in active, living cells. If spores and other dormant forms of life were the only inhabitants of clouds, as most scientists have assumed, they would not become active and respond to the test for at least an hour. But when Parker collected airborne and presumably dormant samples of bacteria, algae and fungi and doused them with TTC, the chemical began turning pink in only 15 to 20 minutes the time...
