...even deferential in his presentation to Carter, often beginning sentences with an apologetic "I hope you will allow me." In a schoolmasterly way, Begin started his first session by offering the President a 30-minute history lesson on Israel's role in the Middle East. He illustrated his text by having an aide set up three maps. One showed how vulnerable Israel would be to Arab surprise attacks if it withdrew from the occupied territories. A second showed the relative size of Israel and the Arab world. The third illustrated the military situation in southern Lebanon, where Israelis have...
...comparably great figure could launch so many shows, because Rubens was so prolific. A thousand or so paintings, more than 2,000 drawings, sown from Leningrad to Washington: Rubens was the grand inseminator of the Baroque, a monster of controlled fecundity, erudition and discipline. The biggest Rubens show, the text to which all the others are necessarily footnotes, is now on view in his home city of Antwerp.

Unwisely, Toon had not cleared his text with Washington...
...ever volunteered by anyone about to become President. (Playboy has been capitalizing on Carter's famous word ever since, assuring advertisers that the Playboy reader's "lust for life" makes him an impulsive big spender.) Within the past year, while Penthouse in particular has made its inside text more blatant and kinkier, both Playboy and Penthouse have toned down the nudity of their covers. Guccione, whose Penthouse makes more money for news dealers than any other magazine, is concerned about the small-town Midwest distributor "whose wife plays pinochle with all the local wives." On request, Guccione supplies...
