...Except for a minor last-minute scare, Quincy dominated the second half. After a key John Garvey fumble recovery on the Quincy 45, Hatamiya went to work, converting two clutch fourth and yardage situations for important first downs, before unloading a pinpoint 20-yard T.D. missile to Art "the Quincy Clipper" O'Keefe...
MORE SANGUINE observers are already calling 1980 an aberration, predicting a return to the fairly clear course of mid-twentieth century liberalism, perhaps as early as 1982, or when Ted Kennedy wins the White House in 1984. But the trend of the last decade proves them wrong--except for the perturbations caused by presidential scandal, America has been moving to the Right for years. Even if the Democrats do regain some measure of national power, they will still have to content themselves with defending the current size of government, for the prevailing view in America will not allow new regulation...
...Dull. Sure, there are plenty of new restaurants in Washington, but with a couple of exceptions, all the food tastes as if it were prepared in a central kitchen located at K Street and Connecticut Avenue. Sure, there is the Kennedy Center. But where are the renegade artists and the experimental playwrights? Where are the writers?

To be fair, there is no literary society in any American city...
...that compared with the practical tasks of political revolution, art was "an utterly secondary affair," it was the only weapon he had, and he used it diligently. Grosz's theater of capitalism is as clear and simple as the plot of an old morality play. Everything and everyone, except the victims, is for sale; all social transactions, except the class solidarity of workers, are poisoned at the root; the world is run by four breeds of pig: capitalist, officer, priest and whore. Such are the ingredients of caricature, but Grosz, especially in his early postwar work like Gray...
...poor third-quarter company reports were centered primarily in some of America's oldest industries. Data Resources estimated that steel companies' earnings fell 96%. U.S. Steel profits were down 12.7%, and the company would have lost money except for the sale of $77.8 million worth of its cement division and some real estate. Bethlehem Steel lost $32.3 million in the third quarter, as contrasted with a $74.8 million profit during the same period a year ago. Chemical giant Du Pont reported an earnings decline of 61%. Since the housing industry had been especially hard hit by high interest...
