...during the past year or so. Manhattan's Whitney Museum is planning to put together an exhibition of the work of a number of them in the autumn, although Associate Curator Robert Doty does not regard the show as a trend setter. "There's been a continuous stream of this kind of expressionistic art from the Romanesque period on ward," says he. "Look at Goya. Look at Bosch." For that matter, look at Chicago's Ivan Albright, California's Edward Kienholz, or New York's Lucas Samaras...

In both directions storm-troopers had worked the trick, the difference of opinion being as to who they were, students or police...
...connection. Most of the violent solar eruptions occur near clusters of sunspots on the solar surface and seem to derive their energy from the magnetic fields that cause the spots.

...helicopter appeared in the distance. Then the hillside would come alive with men dramatically extinguishing blazes that happened to be their own lunch fires. The fire boss would circle overhead a few times, return to camp, write his report, and then go fishing for Arctic grayling in the nearest stream. The men would then return to their routine--putting out occasional smokes on the perimeter, but telling stories or dirty jokes for much...
