...careful to dissociate Arab "socialism" and "communism" from their terminological counterparts elsewhere. Arab socialists have often advocated private ownership (albeit regulated) as necessary for economic development; Arab communists have been wary of aligning themselves with communist states, preferring instead to regard Marxist-Leninist dogma as a malleable, practical tool for national progress and liberation rather than as an ideological ultimate in itself...
...TAKES WORK--in italics--to produce such pictures. Germano left a Wall St. career to work only on photographing his native Berkeley, finally inventing a camera to take the pictures he envisioned. The instrument's ability to capture incredibly fine detail and texture has made it a necessary tool of the avant-garde cameraman, and its mastery a challenge he must meet. (All the pictures in this exhibit, except Rubinfien's, were taken with it.) Leaving, as Lifson says, "no place to hide," the superclarity of the camera's vision lends these pictures an uncanny surrealism. The trees in Wing...
...speaks frankly, making his opinions and principles clear without mincing words. (This characteristic, of course, is in part a political tool; his candor allows him to retain his reputation for integrity and independence both with his colleagues and his constituents.) An obvious example was his reaction to Carter's "ethnic purity" gaffe during the primary campaign; while defending Carter's good intentions, Young flatly said the statement was "loaded with Hitlerian connotations" and was "a disaster for the campaign." At the very least then, one can still find Young encouraging because he stands in a position, even if only...
...skilled workers exceed those of the less skilled. Since the social contract held all increases to a flat monetary standard and ruled out raises in Phase 1 above a $14,000-a-year ceiling, the effect was to push low wages upward and restrict higher ones. A machine-tool operator in British Leyland's truck and bus division now makes more a week ($118.84) than his supervisor...
...Saudi prince bought a $30,000 Rolls-Royce Corniche to tool around England with, and after two months gave it to his British chauffeur. Another likes to play with 16 hooded falcons, which go for $3,000 a throw. Sheikh Zayed of Abu Dhabi, President of the United Arab Emirates, has "a palace or two" in Pakistan, where he hunts for two months every year, and London digs with four-figure faucets designed by Godfrey Bonsack of May fair. Then there is the ruler of Dubai, who likes to hoist up his skirts-all the way-and then see which...
