Besides Kemp, former Delaware Governor Pete du Pont, Vice President George Bush, former Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr. and evangelist Pat Robertson already have entered the GOP race. Senate Republican leader Bob Dole of Kansas has said he will declare his candidacy...
...chemistry award went to two Americans, Charles J. Pedersen, 83, now retired from Du Pont, and Donald J. Cram, 68, of the University of California, Los Angeles, and French Chemist Jean-Marie Lehn, 48. The three were cited for their work, dating back as far as the 1960s, in creating artificial molecules that can mimic the behavior of hormones and other organic substances. The lone winner in medicine was Susumu Tonegawa, 48, a Japanese-born molecular biologist at M.I.T.

Now, in one of those big transatlantic double acts the Met does so well, in cahoots with the Musee du Louvre in Paris, we have a show of 71 paintings organized by Jeannine Baticle of the Louvre. From this panoramic exposure a new Zurbaran emerges -- both stronger and weaker, more intense and yet more prone to hackwork, than one had imagined...
