...imaginative force and outright terribilità, it is quite possibly the most crushing and exhilarating exhibition of work by a 20th century artist ever held in the U.S. Beginning this week, over the next four months nearly a million people will queue outside New York City's Museum of Modern Art to get a glimpse of it. Pablo Picasso, who died in 1973, is being honored in a show of nearly 1,000 of his works, some never exhibited before, drawn from his estate as well as from collections the world over...

Last year Czechoslovak children's clothing jumped 200% and Hungarian bread went up 50%. At the same time, consumers regularly face shortages. In Communist countries, the block-long queue at meat...

At some stations, drivers who rose groggily at dawn to hunt for gas have had to queue up behind long lines of cars parked and locked by people who had left them there overnight. Fights with guns, knives and broken beer bottles have erupted in the lines. In Los Angeles a male motorist deflated the tires of a car that cut into line ahead of him, then beat...
