And by now it is getting late, though not yet too late, for some basic tasks that many Democrats concede still have not been accomplished: coordinating the Mondale and Ferraro campaigns, defining a clear set of issues to be pressed, drawing up a target list...

Former associates of Tsakos also filed sworn statements to the committee, charging that the financier had tried to buy Hatfield's support for the pipeline.

The sense of absorption-of a painter spying on people looking at art -is extreme; and so is the feeling for material substance, quiet, glowing, meticulously wrought. On the far left, a portrait of Louis XIV is being lowered into its crate for shipment. This refers to the name of Gersaint's shop, Au Grand Monarque, but also to the death and burial of the Sun King himself. The shop sign is at once...
