But let us not get so caught up in this relatively parochial matter that we ignore the larger questions the very existence of ROTC in its current state should evoke. For a remilitarized country and a war-torn world exist in spite of a demilitarized Harvard...
...been comfortably selling in America for just over $40,000, saw a large multipanel piece called Fundamental Lexicon go for $415,000, an event that caused much skeptical talk both inside and outside the ministry. Landscapes by Svetlana Kopystiansky, and her husband Igor's assemblages of old-looking, torn and reworked canvases, which had stood well out from the ruck of young artists in last year's Venice Biennale, made as much as $75,000.

Even the Italian artists dealing with popular imagery...
...semiautomatic sales. Advisers from Barbara Bush to Los Angeles Police Chief Daryl Gates pleaded with the President to outlaw the guns. For several weeks Bush had discussed the semiautomatic-weapons dilemma with his friend Senator James McClure, an Idaho Republican and staunch gun-rights defender. The President was torn between wanting to protect the rights of sportsmen and the lives of police officers...
