...with panoramic views of Mount Rainier and a comfortably cluttered apartment on Manhattan's East Side. The furniture there is mostly old and relatively inexpensive. The objects in the living room-oriental bibelots, a taxidermist-mounted dove given to her by Fidel Castro, a pillow embroidered with the slogan LEAVE ME ALONE, I'M HAVING A CRISIS-are all chosen, MacLaine says, for their sentimental associations, not beauty. Says MacLaine: "I did all the decorating myself, here and in Malibu. The style there is 'early accumulation'- heavy redwood furniture that will still be around after...
...more than 2,500 years the only certainty in China has been uncertainty. Again and again the country has endured civil tumult, foreign invasion and the eternal vicious circle of flood, famine and disease.

An estimated 1 million people swarmed into the plaza that surrounds Rio's Candelária Church, raising clenched fists and chanting...
...blatantly mercenary. Forever shattered was the image of owners as kindly old gents who loved to be around players and considered sports an extended recess from the real world. Broken hearted New Yorkers asked what a city could call its own besides taxes, garbage, and perhaps a flashy slogan. The Big Apple has a cultural reputation verging on the mythic, but most of its citizens don't care about the Guggenheim, or Broadway, or the Met--they care about the Knicks, and the Rangers, and the Mets...
