Then you look at Boston's pitching, and you wonder how the team has gone so far with so little. Jim Lonborg, it is true, has been phenomenal, and is the winningest pitcher in the majors. Gary Bell, who was acquired from Cleveland in a trade, has won six games for the Sox, but it is highly doubtful that he will keep it up. The other starters--Lee Stange, Gary Waslewski, and Darrell Brandon--run the gamut from mediocre to awful...
Strictly speaking, an injunction is simply an order by a court requiring that its interpretation of the law be com plied with. Willful failure to comply is contempt of court, and fines and jail sentences can be imposed. Overuse of the device in the early days of trade unionism made "government by injunction" a burning political issue; by 1930, Felix Frankfurter and Nathan Greene, in a classic book on the subject, were proposing a new law and writing that "injunctions ought never to become rou tine." Two years later, the Norris-La Guardia Act virtually eliminated them in federal courts...
Bullock's will be the last department store addition for a while.

Expansion-minded Ralph Lazarus, therefore, is looking for other opportunities. The company is about to open a string of discount stores under the name "Gold Circle," has borrowed $20,000,000 to invest in European retailing if an opportunity comes...
When they packed up their displays at the end of this month's Leipzig trade fair, most East German companies found themselves with virtually empty order books. One state-owned company had an altogether different problem. The famed Meissen chinaworks, which was the hit of the show, wound up with six months' worth of new business. The company's popularity was so striking that its managers were already finding it embarrassing; the "People's Own Plant, State China Manufactory, Meissen" had been running far behind in filling orders even before the trade fair began...
Crystalline Visions. Bellotto learned his trade in his uncle's Venetian studio. Canaletto was then one of the most illustrious and successful artists in Europe, leader of the school whose detailed panoramas of Venetian fiestas and parades hung in castles and mansions from Italy to England. In his youth,Bel-lotto aped his uncle's style and signed his canvases "Bernardo Bellotto Canaletto," a quirk that has caused confusion among collectors ever since. But as he matured, he developed a colder, moodier, darker technique...
