...Basseterre, St. Kitts. In a troubled climate of high unemployment with a flimsy sugar-cane economy, Bradshaw clung to power chiefly because of his adaptability. A onetime bicycle mechanic and cane cutter, he rose as a labor organizer, attained political power and preached nationalism while flaunting cutaways and a yellow Rolls-Royce. When Britain's colonial hold eased in 1967, Bradshaw was voted into the first of three terms as Prime Minister and, sensing opposition to his posh lifestyle, decelerated to khakis and a Land Rover...
Despite 13 unmanned missions to Venus since 1961, ten by the Soviet Union and three by the U.S., Earth's nearest planetary neighbor has remained an enigma.

It swirls around blackly shooting out clouds of green and yellow ink amidst sea-shapes like diatoms magnified thousands of times. "Serie Barcelone" is likewise a collection of natural forms of unnatural dimensions and hues. Looking at it is like looking through a microscope at a variety of different cell structures stained orange, green, blue and every other color...
...Yellow school buses whisked alumni to Kresge Hall at the Business School in the later afternoon to eat dinner and meet with President Bok before attending coffee hours later in the evening. Finally, talked out, they strolled back to their temporary living quarters at the Yard and River Houses...
