...better deal to the farmworker than the UFW. The Teamsters are rich, well-established and cozy with management, and in the short run they may well offer higher wages and better benefits than the UFW can. But the Teamsters Union already includes in its ranks cannery and packing-shed workers as well as truckers. Adding the field worker to this network would give the Teamsters virtual control of labor from the fields to the supermarkets. The Teamsters' base lies with the other workers in the network--though the depth of the Teamsters leaders' committment even to them is suggested...

Nabokov aficionados will take pleasure in matching up these variant titles with the originals, or comparing, say, Vadim's precocious daughter with Nabokov's Lolita, but no real light is shed by the kind of wordplay that turns the real-life Camera Obscura into the fictional Camera Lucida, or by a stereotyped sketch of another Lolita...

It would have been the largest bronze group in recorded history, 23 ft. high, cast...

Not counting the revolving crystal sphere which shed light upon the audience, Yes's only form of physical embellishment was a mysterious figure clad in a magician's cape and surrounded by such an entourage of keyboards that he would have been practically obfuscated if not for his gleaming locks which actually rivaled the crystal ball in brilliance. Rick Wakeman has since left Yes and his career as a solo artist is blossoming. Saturday night he will perform a musical version of Jules Verne's science fictionclassic, Journey to the Centre of the Earth. Neither man power...
