...That was a rock-bottom standard, since the image of the Bronco II continued to worsen. In June 1989 a Consumer Reports article titled "How Safe Is the Bronco II?" rated its handling as poor in a test that simulated rapid lane changes. The Consumers Union publication advised "prudent buyers" to steer clear of it. According to an original analysis prepared for TIME by University of Michigan statistician Hans Joksch, an expert in automotive statistics, the Explorer has had approximately the same rate of fatal rollovers as the Bronco...
...domestic issues dominated the campaign, Berlusconi's victory has implications both for the E.U. and for NATO, where his strongly pro-U.S. position could weaken support for an autonomous European defense pillar. Within the E.U., Berlusconi could form a conservative bloc with Aznar, who shares his resistance to rapid enlargement of membership; he is already demanding a bigger Italian say on European farm policy.

Among the positives: closely spaced siblings emerge from infancy in rapid succession, allowing their parents to purge the house of baby toys, sleep through the night again and resume their careers that much sooner. As kids get older, close spacing simplifies everything from clothes shopping (same store) to child care (same after-school program) to family entertainment (same movie rating...
...they're glimpsed vividly and briefly from a passing vehicle. And an essentially traditional modernist like Richard Diebenkorn, during the figurative-landscape phase of his work in the '50s and early '60s - represented here by a slashing landscape called "Freeway and Aqueduct, 1957" - gave those landscapes a sense of rapid movement in deep space, and an imagery of roadworks, water conduits and ramps that you can't dissociate from...
