Comparing Israel to South Africa, as will be done in the conference referred to in yesterday's Crimson, shows an unsophisticated and shallow understanding of the helpless, passive resistance movement of the majority of the South African people. That a people practicing non-violence is required to carry identification is inexplicable, intolerable and must be ended in South Africa. That a group which wages violent battle against a government and is still permitted to work in Israel is required to carry security cards for entrance into the country is incomparable--such a comparison belittles the nobility of the South African...
...least part of the fun of rock music is being a fan, being a megafanatic, reading fanzines and probing the deep (or, more often, shallow) recesses of your rock star idol's mind. Only L.P.'s are part of that whole experience. Let's face it, Elvis' Sun collection and Buddy Holly's "Peggy Sue" and Jerry Lee Lewis' "Great Balls of Fire" and the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds just had to be playing on records. As it is, music today is getting closer and closer to being embodied in the commodity that can only appear in the forms...
Crossing into Czechoslovakia was no problem. But entering Hungary required an East German exit permit they did not have. The Breites had to abandon the car and ford a river under cover of darkness. Sympathetic Czechs led them to a spot on the Ipoly, a shallow Danube tributary, where other East Germans were making the same trek. Olaf carried two children across; Marlies toted the third. On the Hungarian side, their luck held. Though it was 3:30 a.m., a bus happened by. "There were other refugees inside," Marlies recalls. "And we kept picking up people all along the route...
...patiently constructs his first real masterpiece, Violin and Pitcher, 1910, is to watch a classical sensibility throwing itself into the flux of uncertainty and coming through intact. Chardin still lives beneath the silvery buckling planes of the pitcher, and every one of the hundreds of angles at which the shallow facets of the picture impinge on one another seems both provisional and immutable. But this -- let alone the far more abstracted paintings of late 1911, in which the thinnest of clues to the identity of objects (a pipestem, a playing card) swims in a vaporous gray- brown flux inflected...
...high levels of phosphates and nitrates from farm runoff have transformed more than 20,000 acres of Everglades saw grass into cattails. These intruders, which thrive in high-nutrient water, suck the oxygen from the marsh and suffocate aquatic life at the bottom of the Everglades food chain. On shallow ponds and canals, nutrient-fed algae grow so thick that they block the sun from underwater plants. So far, most of the damage is confined to Loxahatchee National Wildlife Preserve -- an Everglades habitat abutting the farms -- and state conservation areas just north of the national park. "It's like...
