...book store is adaptable in a unique and exciting way. Bare brick and untouched wood blend in well with bright colors. Passim is even more than a book store or a coffee shop, exhibiting works by young artists as well, the latest being only 17 years old. The bookshelves can be pushed aside because Mrs. Juda hopes to have some evening activities, such as theater or poetry readings, once the store is more established...

Several black-and-white prints were made from it, and these were then glued to other blocks that were incised in turn so that each could be used to print a single color. In the early 18th century, print-makers were largely limited to various vegetable-based inks...
...such as Candy Spots v. No Robbery in 1963, and Damascus v. Ruken in 1967. None of those favorites won. This year, at least half a dozen outsiders could make history repeat itself, including Dike, a 6-to-l shot by virtue of his victory in the $110,900 Wood Memorial at Aqueduct, and Arts and Letters, who bested Top Knight during the winter season...
