...exhibition of recent sculpture by the American artist Nancy Graves, on view at the Knoedler gallery in New York City through March 29, is her best yet-the work of an artist who, in midcareer, is only now getting into full and impressive stride. To say that Graves, 43, in the cliché of artspeak, is "involved with organic imagery" does no justice to the depth of her entry into the natural world as subject. When so much in current art tends to be either narcissistic reflection on the self, or ironic broodings on cultural dilemmas, she remains...

...next "giant step," as Reagan called the space-station proposal, will actually begin with a moderate stride. For fiscal 1985 the Administration will seek no more than $150 million extra in NASA's $7.2 billion budget to plan the station's architecture and set its specific goals. However, in subsequent years, when construction starts, as much as $1.2 billion a year will be required for the project. Estimated total cost over the decade: $8 billion. The bill could be brought down if Beggs succeeds in winning European, Canadian or Japanese participation...
