...release only eleven to 17 films, about half he number each would have produced a decade ago. Money is not the problem-film budgets have doubled since 1973. George Lucas' Star Wars and soon-to-be released extravaganzas by Francis Coppola and Steven Spielberg have a combined price tag of more than $63 million. Unfortunately, the studios' reliance on blockbuster epics means that fewer experimental movies are being made. The state's once sassy underground press has become superfluous, even insipid. Rock groups like Eagles, who once celebrated the ambience of their adopted state with songs like...
...delegates were quartered in luxurious villas and a new ten-story hotel, and their gourmet meals were prepared by an imported battalion of chefs (one from Maxim's in Paris). The estimated price tag for the extravaganza (including the construction of a six-lane highway, a new presidential palace and the conference-theater complex) was $800 million. That is nearly 75% of Gabon's budget for 1977, in a country whose per capita gross domestic product is $2,800 -the highest in black Africa...
Both sides in the debate agree that the B-l is the hottest bomber ever flown. But is it worth its $102 million price tag? Can it reach targets deep within the Soviet Union if there is a nuclear war?

Concedes Democratic Senator Sam Nunn, a B-l backer: "Considerable logic can be mustered for either side of the argument...

Each carries a price tag of $8 billion to $ 11 billion, but nobody doubts that by the time the job is finished-probably before 1985-it will comfortably exceed the big oil line as the costliest private building project in history...
...retrospective of more than 130 works, originally organized by the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo and now at New York's Whitney Museum, is as masterly a demonstration of a sensibility in growth as any living painter could set forth. He is not, as the condescending tag once read, a California artist, but a world figure. He is not an avant-gardist either, and his work keeps alluding to its sources: the color to Bonnard and Matisse, the strong, fractionally unstable drawing to Mondrian and Matisse again. Diebenkorn's best paintings mediate between the moral duty...
