...MOMA show, unlike its Vienna and Paris predecessors, omits all but a bit of political context. There is scant reference, for example, to the troubling de facto alliance between the Secessionist aesthetes and Vienna's populist right against late 19th century liberalism, or to the right-wing regime that ran the city during the % Werkstatte's glory days, or to the unpleasant fact that the bank Wagner designed was established as an alternative to the "Jewish banks." By remaining ahistorical, MOMA has abetted a kind of pernicious boutiquism: as beautiful as the wallets and postcards and fabrics and jewelry...
...rare, but not as rare as some people would like to think. Ironically, my roommate had sought to follow the advice of crime prevention officers by taking steps to protect herself.

James Hinkle's ordeal began when he ran into a snag while loading a $400 program called Framework into his Kaypro Model 16 computer.

Such an outfit might seem a little . . . well, declamatory, but it was certainly of a piece with the proceedings, whose wintry "theme" was Doctor Zhivago. The bride and bridegroom...
...Strike Two. Now Ron Luciano appears as you never saw him before: unemployed. He remains funny but unbowed: "The bankruptcy went very well. I've got the car running again." By the ump's own admission, he told all of his story in the first volumes and then "ran out of my own life." But that has not stopped him from continuing to yammer. This time out, he releases some odd information ("In Cleveland (stadium) they have problems growing grass, so they paint the ground green"), remembers the greatest catch by a fan and includes the autobiographies of some less...
