That may be as tough as getting tape recordings from the White House. The key figure, South Korean Entrepreneur Tongsun Park, hastily moved from Washington to London last year after the first published reports that he had given some Congressmen up to $10,000 each. The ethics committee, headed by Georgia's John J. Flynt Jr., has been looking into Koreagate for almost ten months without noticeable progress. Further tarnishing the House's image, the committee's counsel, Philip Lacovara, 33, who was Jaworski's Watergate assistant, quit two weeks ago, claiming that Flynt...
What a pleasure it was to see the two of them again in a great baseball park, clad in the classic threads of the trade that made them famous.

Nine months after construction began in January 1975, Renault decided that the Salon d'Ete would be too expensive to complete and to maintain, and called a halt. Dubuffet, who says the ensemble of sculpture is "the sum of twelve years of work," promptly sued "to defend the right of the artist over his creation"-and lost. Undaunted, he has appealed...
...experimental ballads Night and Day and Begin the Beguine. His polished lyrics have rarely been equaled-some scarcely need melody to support them: "Is it an earthquake/ or simply a shock?/ Is it the good turtle soup/ or merely the mock? . . . is it Granada I see/ or only Asbury Park...
