...project consists of a complex of five buildings MacArthur bought for $100,000 with a mortgage taken out last July. Dating back to 1867, Brown's Mill stands in all the interesting stages of decay known to brick, mortar and wood. As MacArthur takes you on the conducted tour, picking his way buoyantly through the rubble, he can manage to see Brown's Mill as a stranger sees it-but not for long.

Navratilova won that stirring duel, serving notice that her resurgence was for real...
...these pieces-carefully selected samples of what they believe to be the best of their theatrical culture-are being offered by the Performing Arts Company of the People's Republic of China. A five-city U.S. tour began last week at New York's Metropolitan Opera House, and will play in Washington, D.C., Minneapolis, Berkeley and Los Angeles. The opening-night program left memories of sumptuous and exotic stage pictures that will linger in the mind's eye and a sense that one has enjoyed a handful of highly privileged theatrical moments...
