...libertarians therefore reacted with outrage last week when it was disclosed that the U.S. had gone to court to limit the publication of a federal district judge's opinion that officials claimed "slandered" three Government prosecutors. What was even more surprising was that a panel of the Tenth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in Oklahoma had granted a temporary injunction. The appeals court rescinded its order last Tuesday, but constitutional experts were still shocked that the court had agreed, however briefly, to the prior restraint. "For 21 days there was a censorship order outstanding against an absolutely trivial publication...
Jobs left his imprint particularly on the aesthetics of the project. He insisted, for example, that all 50 computer chips be rearranged on a printed circuit board to straighten the solder traces. He worked with the Belgian-born commercial artist Jean-Michel Folon to prepare advertisements for Mac. But the pair found working on different continents too cumbersome, and Jobs retained other artists. Even the publicity brochures accompanying Mac reflect Jobs and contain one of his pet phrases: "Insanely great...
...rhinestone-and sequin-soaked suits have left audiences gasping while he excuses himself to "change into something a little more spectacular." But no one has managed to turn excess into success like Liberace, 64, who still reigns as the glitter king of the big-bucks show-biz circuit. To be sure, he still faces the unresolved "palimony" suit filed against him by his former chauffeur-bodyguard Scott Thorson, 24. But nothing is dampening the celebration of his 40th year in show business. For the first time he is taking his Las Vegas show-sets and kaboodle-on the road...
Since his early days on the mashed potatoes circuit, the amiable conservative has made big government the biggest but of his jokes. So it is likely that the biggest, and most popular of the displays will be on regulation. One whole wing will have to be devoted to the 19,000 businesses which, in 1962. Reagan said had been nationalized by the federal government (No one has ever catalogued more than a few hundred). Another very large room will reveal 15,000 General Motors employees, whom G.M. 'itself never knew existed, slaving away on federal paperwork.' Posted across one wall...
...exhibition that lacks logic. Vreeland's practice of organizing the Met's fashion displays by color, mood, line and occasionally whim is not satisfactory. It is impossible to trace Saint Laurent's career or to see the variety in a given year without making the crowded circuit several times and squinting down at the labels. This is particularly frustrating, since the exhibition rooms, possibly suggesting the museum's priorities, are cramped and poky. One strategy might be to go over the catalogue (Clarkson N. Potter; $35), which contains chronological listings as well as a profusion...
