...touches on the fiscal 1980 budget that he will submit to Congress on Jan. 22. Budget battles between the White House and Congress are an annual event, but this year the President, Democratic leaders and most Republicans are in rare general agreement. They know that there is a conservative tide running in the country and that federal spending must be checked. So what is the fight? It is over just how to split those scarce dollars, and it is shaping up as a delicate exercise in political intrigue...
...land had for him, the precise quality of air and of color, which he defines as "a personal memory: light with meaning." The dim, pale loveliness of damp sand, weather-streaked concrete, blue shutters on gray clapboard siding, flourescent light in evening air, sunbathers, a colonnaded seaside porch, tide pools and the stray formations of boats seen from above -- these are Meyerowitz's chief subjects. The necessarily smaller show at the Harcus Krakow Gallery has fewer photographs, but features, in addition, a few pictures of empty swimming pools and nudes, and two photographs from Meyerowitz's current project, commissioned...
...among the architects themselves there is an undeniable ferment, unlike anything in "classical" Modernist architecture. The receding tide of orthodoxy has left all manner of different organisms exposed on the reef. At one taxonomic extreme is California's Frank Gehry, 49.

Granted, the '50s were an affluent and relatively peaceful time in this country, but that peace and affluence brought with it a very conservative outlook. America had stemmed the tide of fascism, we had the bomb (and so did they), for the first time there was security and prosperity, and that brought with it commitment to the status quo. One didn't tamper with success, and as America had accomplished more than any other country on earth, to question what...
...second quarter of a football game between Texas Christian University and the University of Alabama. Already behind 14-0, the underdog Texans gave the ball to their junior tailback, Kent Waldrep, 20. Sweeping around the right end, he quickly ran into the Crimson Tide's crushing defense. As two players tried to push him out of bounds on the Alabama 40-yd. line, a third crashed into his legs from behind. Waldrep was hit so hard he flipped over and landed headfirst. Texas went on to lose, 41-3. But for Waldrep that game in 1974 was an even...
