Carlucci also has his adaptable and diplomatic side. As Secretary of Defense, he has drained away most of the poison that his predecessor, Caspar Weinberger, left behind in the Pentagon's relations with Congress and the State Department, largely by the simple expedient of respecting their turfs and their opinions. Coming from the National Security Adviser's job, he has retained a major role in foreign policy. In the past month he has turned up all over the globe: chatting with top Soviet defense officials at the Moscow summit; visiting Tokyo, where he urged Japan to share more...
...think of Hockney is to think of pictorial skill and a total indifference (in the work, at least) to the dark side of human experience. Does the latter make him a less serious painter? Of course not, any more than it trivialized the work of that still underrated artist Raoul Dufy. At root, Hockney is popular because his work offers a window through which one's eye moves without strain or fuss into a wholly consistent world.

...visitor returning today would hardly know Bodrum. The town's 185-slip marina is already too small for the flotilla of yachts anchored there from ports as distant as Oslo and Southampton. On the other side of the harbor, near the 15th century Crusader castle that dominates the town, about 200 gulets -- motor-equipped sailboats built by local craftsmen -- take tourists out for a week or a month in the unspoiled waters off Turkey's Aegean and Mediterranean coasts. Halicarnas, an enormous open-air disco, pumps music and shoots lasers until dawn. Ertegun, who was born in Istanbul and came...
