...folk humor. He insisted that "Sadat's greatest ambition is to own a big automobile and have the government pay for the gasoline." But on his own, old Goha turned out to be perhaps a shrewder politician than Nasser, and one of his most astute moves was to proclaim an infitah, or open-door economic policy. Two months after he was installed, he called for the repeal of the "sequestration" orders that Nasser had used to seize the land and property of the upper class. According to some estimates, there are now more millionaires in Egypt than there were...
...itself is a welfare state Magic Mountain, set in Alpine grandeur that enables De Sica to display the saccharine cinematography that made his Garden of the Finzi Contins such a visually attractive but intellectually vapid film Snow capped mountains, exquisitely dressed women, luxurious but tasteful architecture and rustic charm proclaim heavyhandedly that we have entered another world totally alien to Clara's seedy three room tenement and grimy factory.

National's aim, said a company spokesman, "is to stimulate people to take vacations." Although foodless flying, which saves the airline about $4 a passenger, is largely an attempt to win back customers that National lost...
...result must be among the most imposing "homemade" sculpture produced by a young American since the early '60s, when Di Suvero was making his big constructions of railway ties, dock piles, chains and tires. Instead of effacing their weight, Buchman's sculptures proclaim it: heaviness, the state of being dug from and bound to the earth, is part of their meaning. The stone is not carved. The lumps stand as they came from the rock pile, craggy and rhino-gray: one thinks of them as things, not as material, and each sculpture becomes a kind of frozen juggling...
