...event since the arrival of mass color reproduction. It may well be that my generation -the people born between 1935 and 1940 -will be the last to remember what a truly disinterested museum visit was like. Quite simply, it is now difficult and, for most people, impossible to walk into a gallery and look at a work of art without its "value"-which means simply price, real or hypothetical-intruding on their reflections. After Velazquez's Juan de Pareja was bought at auction for New York's Metropolitan Museum for $5.5 million in 1970, the then director...
...industry must have billions of dollars to expand U.S. drilling, exploration and other energy-producing investments that are needed to escape OPEC's hold, and Aramco's megaprofits are a big help. But to ensure those profits and continued access to foreign crude, the company has to walk a finer and finer line between the steadily diverging interests of producing and consuming states...
...quick punch is always better than stewing about for months," Daltrey says, but by 1967, Moon and Entwistle were both fed up, and took a walk together.

Journalists walk the streets of Tehran encountering little hostility, despite Iran radio's constant and strident anti-American propaganda. In their on-the-air questioning of the student militants, however, they too seem inhibited by the fear of jeopardizing the hostages. When Khomeini gives televised interviews, he chooses which submitted questions...
...York the people stare back at you. Two police cars grumble, drowning out the Salvation Army bells that ring across town and sit waiting, grazing on the sidewalk, spinning their disco lights. Their red lights reflect from the lenses of a lawyer's glasses as he walks from his car toward the block where the limousines are parked. The rumble of the police cars echoes off the brick of a church. The lawyer glances left and crosses against the Don't Walk sign at 11th Avenue. Several blocks later he edges toward the curb when a girl's face whispers...
