...smoke came pouring out of Laird's pocket. To quell the fire caused by his cigar, he started slapping his side. Some of the others whose angle of vision prevented them from grasping the full drama of the Secretary of Defense immolating himself in front of the Pope took Laird's efforts at fire extinguishing as applause, into which they joined. Only wisdom accumulated over two millenniums enabled the Vatican officials to pretend that nothing unusual was going...
...disarticulation was what Lautrec attempted, and one still marvels at the speed and accuracy of his notation, whether it was real (in his sketch pads) or feigned (in the finished theatrical lithographs). The impression that his drawing of Jane Avril's kick or Yvette Guilbert's bow took as little time as the movement itself does not hold for long: one's admiration for Lautrec's craft, for the eggshell delicacy of spattered lithographic ink or the exact placement of a complementary color, overrides it.

Stargell, at the vintage age of 38, hit .455 with two home runs and six RBIs...
Ministers in Belgrade took a step to ensure that the crash of '79 remains fiction by reducing the hazardous excess of dollars. They agreed to press work on a plan to replace perhaps as much as $40 billion in dollars with bonds denominated in a basket of 16 currencies, including two from OPEC countries-Saudi Arabia and Iran. This could be approved at a meeting in April...
