...100th anniversary of Stalin's birth last week, Pravda ran a major editorial that mentioned some of Stalin's crimes, including "serious violations of Soviet legality and wholesale reprisals." As a result, the paper said, "many distinguished Communist Party and government leaders, high-ranking military commanders, honest Communists and nonParty people had suffered, though they were innocent." But since Stalin's death, the Party had "resolutely eradicated the consequences of the cult of personality." Still, Pravda called Stalin a "distinguished leader" who had supplied a "need for centralized leadership, iron discipline and extreme vigilance" during most...
...some critics, the auction houses' success is excessive. While no one blames them for dizzy prices-they are not their bidders' keepers-even dealers who are making wild profits as a result of the art boom evince a certain distaste for the whole process. London's Waddington points out that the auction world's Big Two, unlike most thriving corporations, do not plow back even part of their profits into research, grants for young artists or gifts to museums.

One rule of thumb is to spend "an hour in the study for each minute in the pulpit." But many modern preachers say they are lucky to manage half that...
Adani, a Levantine of unspecified nationality, contains all the ruthlessness, greed, ill temper and bad manners heretofore ascribed to some Jewish studio heads. The unfortunate result is to create two stereotypes where one is more than enough. The characterization nevertheless has its uses. Adani sends a class operator to California to make a deal with Farber. He bears the elegant name of Guy Barrere and a resume that includes the Columbia University School of Journalism and Rolling Stone...
