While traveling in Australia last summer, our art critic, Robert Hughes, saw an exhibition titled "New Worlds from Old: 19th Century Australian and American Landscapes" and read press coverage of it, which included a review by Patricia Macdonald in Australian Art Collector. After the exhibition moved to the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, Conn., Hughes' review ran in our Nov. 2 issue. His first three sentences were very similar to the opening sentence of Macdonald's article. "To my embarrassment I seem to have cannibalized it, but it was entirely unconscious," says Hughes.

Those heroes have crossed over into the mainstream. This year champion bass fisherman Denny Brauer, like Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods, won a place on sports marketing's greatest icon: the Wheaties box. Snowboard pioneer Jake Burton taped a widely aired American Express commercial.

In contrast...
Whether Willey's allegations ever rise to the level of impeachable crimes is far from certain. But the three people whose statements Starr sought to keep confidential may figure in the process of getting there. Two of them--Dan Gecker, Willey's lawyer, and Marlene MacDonald, a Willey friend and co-worker in the White House--were in a position to corroborate her story. They were interviewed by the FBI. The third, major Democratic fund raiser Nathan Landow, is apparently being looked to for other answers. Investigators want to know if Landow, who knew Willey socially, tried...
