Whitfield of the Guam Radio Shack, who journeyed to Japan to pick up new 40-channel CB radios so he could be the first to sell them on U.S. soil Jan. 1?which was still Dec. 31 on the mainland...
Shored Up. There was little choice but to build a new shrine. The one erected in 1709 held only 2,000 people, and it was sinking in the spongy soil.

Soon afterward, Rauschenberg made grass paintings?bundles of soil and plant matter held together with chicken wire, from which seedlings sprouted. (The last of these modest forerunners of earth art perished of cold and thirst in his loft down by the Fulton Street docks in 1954.) The results of this clownish exercise, as it looked then, would be of capital importance to modern...
