...communique from Havana last week sounded downright chummy. "Fidel expressed to Daniel the readiness of Cuba to cooperate with Nicaragua as far as possible to make the policy a success," read the statement. Fidel, of course, was the bearded one. And Daniel was Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega Saavedra. The topic of conversation: a peace plan for Central America that Ortega had signed in Guatemala City the previous week...
...nearly as dead as mutton. (Will Baselitz keep painting people upside-down for another decade? Who cares?) But it left behind a small number of masterpieces, some of which are in this show.

At first, his strategy of going after sales at major corporations created a legion of skeptics. But now Sculley, who wrested control of Apple in September 1985 from Co-Founder Steve...
...perplexed by the case was free- lance Journalist Robert Sam Anson, who had once covered the civil rights movement and whose son was a student at Exeter. On assignment from LIFE, Anson set out to discover how a young man like Perry, who seemed launched on a trajectory of success, could come to such a mean, abbreviated...
