...than the 12.2% average yearly boost in the Reagan administration. Tirelessly, Brown proselytizes for reduced spending, probing with Socratic questioning that leaves many listeners in a rage. He startled the University of California regents by dismissing their verbose academic plan as a "perfect example of the squid process: ink spread across the page in unintelligible wordlike patterns that tell me absolutely nothing." He suggested that University President-designate David Saxon take a cut in his scheduled $59,500-a-year salary. Asked Brown: "Why in the world are salaries higher for administrators when the basic mission is teaching...
...perils raised by the growing interdependence of key industrial countries. In an era when heavy world trade, the operations of multinational companies, and massive flows of money across international borders have tied the industrial lands into something resembling one giant economy, both booms and busts increasingly tend to spread quickly round the world...
...surgery similar to Mrs. Dawson's-with increasingly satisfactory results. At a recent meeting at Rutgers Medical School, plastic surgeons predicted that the number of breast reconstructions would continue to rise.

As a result, doctors predict that many of the 89,000 women who will undergo...

Taking regular samplings after the volunteers developed colds, the researchers found that the nasal drippings of aspirin users more often contained virus than those of the nonusers. The aspirin users were thus more likely to spread their viruses and the colds they can cause. Reason: though the aspirin did not cure the colds, it relieved the symptoms sufficiently to allow the victims to go about their daily routines...
Sexily Luscious. Director Frank Corsaro has staged Die Tote Stadt as a brilliant, psychologically adroit multimedia show. Movie and slide projectors play on the front scrim. Four slide projectors illuminate a scrim in the rear. Corsaro and Cinematographer Ronald Chase spread a series of images that are at times dazzling in their three-dimensional effect-grotesque faces, Gothic walls and towers, eerie grottoes, flowers, woodlands. The production opens, for example, on the exterior of Paul's house. Then, through the masonry, the portrait of Marie begins to shine. The lights come up behind the scrim in Paul...
