...local craftsman named Nestor in 1714. The master builder used not a single nail, but so precisely slotted the beams and joists that the structure has stood without reinforcement for 250 years. Upon the traditional octagonal shape, he laid an exuberance of cupolas and onion-shaped domes. The result was a wondrous aberration, a unique folk image of what a house of God should look like. The legend goes that, upon its completion, Nestor declared: "There never has been, is, or ever will be another church like this." So saying, he flung his ax into Lake Onega. He was absolutely...
...voice and manner first heard on his most recent LP, Nashville Skyline (TIME, April 11). It is far less nasal and rasping than before, far less a mixture of drone and downward slur.

Most of the new exporters lack both the storage capacity and the inclination to retain their surpluses in order to stabilize world prices. As a result, the 1968 International Grains Arrangement, which was aimed at fixing minimum world prices, has all but collapsed...
...only as inspirational material. The Satyricon of Petronius Arbiter was a pornographic satire written by Nero's whoremonger, a raucous tale of two worldly youths moving through the decaying strata of Roman society. Fellini lifted all of the characters but just a single episode from the book. The result, announces the director with a characteristically immodest shrug, "is about 20% Petronius and 80% Fellini...
