...artist of stronger social engagement than most of the abstract expressionists, Smith tried his hand at political propaganda with a set of Medals for Dishonor inspired by the Spanish Civil War, later with a number of drawings that tried, in effect, to do a Bruegel on fascism. These desolate landscapes, populated by knotty women copulating with cannon, are postsurrealist cliches-although they make clear Smith's erotic feelings about steel. Even so, they are full of the harsh, graphic intensity that would soon burst forth in his sculpture...
States and communities are in effect trying to cope on their own. Well before really cold weather had set in, the Hartford city council declared a "finding of public emergency" and authorized city managers to overspend by $500,000 for energy emergencies. Connecticut Governor Ella Grasso called the legislature into special session to ask for $5 million in appropriations and $11 million in borrowed funds to support loan programs to small oil dealers, homeowners and municipalities. She estimates that 40,000 families in the state will need help, mostly to pay oil bills...

They contend that the Saudi government's action in providing Aramco since last July with oil at much less than its real market value...
Whatever happened or did not happen in the bedroom, Mary was not a large part of Barrie's life. His chief attachments were reserved for male youths. Finally, in the late '90s, he met and, in effect, married his true love: the Davies family. Arthur Davies was a successful barrister, his wife Sylvia a woman of memorable vivacity. They had five sons, each as perfect in his way as David had been so long ago. Slowly, almost insidiously, the playwright enveloped them with his charm and money. All but one of the boys adored Barrie and his tales...
