...This walkin, environmental sculpture took 13 years to complete. It is the most ambitious of all her wooden constructions. The title suggests a brief bow in the direction of another, and earlier, image of night and silence: Giacometti's The Palace at 4 a.m., 1932-33, one of the canonical sculptures of surrealism. But Giacometti's palace was the size of a doll's house. Nevelson's work-almost 12 ft. high, 20 ft. wide, and 15 ft. deep-is actually domestic (if not palatial) in size, a place one can move into. It is both...
...G.O.P. and a sure bet to gain a second term. But in the biggest upset of Tuesday's gubernatorial races, he lost by less than a 1% margin to Democrat Joseph P. Teasdale, 40, a former prosecutor from Jackson County (which covers Independence and Kansas City). Known as "Walkin' Joe" after his unsuccessful trek around the state seeking the Democratic gubernatorial nomination four years ago, Teasdale hammered away at the Republican in debates and TV ads, painting him as a "corporate man" with ties to big-monied interests and a do-nothing chief executive "removed from the mainstream...
...postponed mentioning Guy Clark's No. 1 (RCA) till now to try to get a grip on myself. Never mind: it's probably the finest country album I've ever heard.

Playboy calls his songs "Larry McMurtry...
Wallace wants to make a permanent home in the Democratic Party, which he feels has moved closer to his thinking after the McGovern debacle. "We're back in the party for better or for worse, or, as we say down here, 'ridin' or walkin',' " says Michael Griffin, 25, an energetic Wallace aide. "The Governor is like Minnie Pearl when she says, 'Ah'm jes glad to be here.' Party stalwarts who once denounced Wallace as a bigot are now treating him like a brother. Last July 4, Ted Kennedy appeared with...
...decided I wanted to live out in the country where there's more room to ride. I'd saved up 2700 dollars from workin and I went to a real estate agent who used to help coach the Lopez football team. I didn't think much of him then, walkin around with his clipboard all the time, but now, I see he was always lookin to help out Lopez boys. He told me he had some land going for 1100 an acre, and he asked me if I wanted a bargain. I said I could cover it if he went...
