...spacemen will also dine together. The Apollo crewmen will treat Leonov to a meal of potato soup, beefsteak, rye bread and cheese, strawberries and tea with lemon. Most of the American food is dehydrated and requires the addition of water; the Russians prefer space food that is already in paste form. Brand will get a chance to test ins skills on a Soviet chest-exercising device. On Friday, Stafford and Leonov are scheduled to hold a joint press conference, fielding reporters' questions from Houston and Moscow...
...Benjamin Rosenthal of New York. Only Brademas and Sarbanes are of Greek extraction (there are only three other Greek Americans in Congress: Representatives Louis "Skip" Bafalis of Florida, Paul Tsongas of Massachusetts and Gus Yatron of Pennsylvania). None of them consider themselves part of a Greek lobby. "We prefer to think of ourselves as the rule-of-law lobby," says Brademas, whose 475,000 constituents include only about 450 Greek Americans.

...witty veneer, the Victorian Collection may be seen as a fable of art at a time when people prefer criticism to novels and autographs to painting.

Some delegates are asking those questions, although most like to keep the whole thing pretty hushed. Most seem to prefer looking towards the future through Audrey Colom's eyes; "I would like to see ten years from now the need for the NWPC to dissolve. I would like to see women entrenched in the political parties. I don't think that is going to happen. So I think there will...
Claudio prepares to die, but as he ponders the horrors of death, he begs Isabella to yield herself to Angelo. Thus he, too, is not what he seems, for any man of honor would prefer death to his sister's disgrace. Duke Vincentio finally returns to square these various accounts, "measure for measure," and give this sourish play an ambiguously happy ending. Yet, in his actions, the duke conclusively proves "what these our seemers be," for he has not really been interested in the goodly governance of the state but in his tricksterish manipulation of his subjects, both high...
