...Communist Party newspaper, published a Yevtushenko poem that condemns the sluggish bureaucracy that General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev repeatedly has blamed for blocking economic progress. Wrote Yevtushenko: "They jammed sticks/ in the wheels of the first locomotive/ to make sure it wouldn't work,/ quacks gripped the surgeon's knife/ when he cut on a heart/ to save a man's life . . ./ 'Because it might not work out right.'/ And they mumbled about airplanes/ and electric light . . ./ 'Because it might not work out right...
...breads twice a day, as well as thin, crackling raspberry and orange tarts. Sooner or later all try their hand at the subtle and restrained garnishes created by Robuchon. He tends to favor a pointillist shimmer of color, sometimes achieved with tiny droplets of tomato sauce dotted from a knife point to rim a sauce of grass-green pureed spinach or by flecks of herbs and vegetables added to a terrine of rabbit set in a pale, jewel-like aspic.

...clipped to death by his own power mower. A neighbor has his mind blown by a malfunctioning Walkman, and a waitress is carved up by a knife.

My first real movie was of my Lionel trains crashing into each other. I used to love to stage little wrecks. I put my eye right to the tracks and watched the trains crashing. My dad said...
...that the present tax code is such a hideous snarl. By Treasury count, under the new plan, "more than 65 categories of preferential tax treatment would be eliminated or curtailed." Just describing what they are is no easy task. Another reason is that the plan is balanced on a knife edge to make it "revenue neutral." To offset the sweeping reductions in individual and corporate tax rates, Treasury planners had to come up with some complicated revenue-raising ideas. One particularly involved provision would tax businesses on sums they had deducted under current depreciation rules. It was added just days...
