...carried them all off to Never-Never Land, interrupting a two hour continuum of sweet little nothings in the familiar Judy Collins style only once-with a brief note of social commentary about the Chicago Eight...
...Indian culture appears hopelessly irrelevant. To some extent, the collision of Western and Indian cultures warped the conquerors' attitudes. When the Senecas sought assurances from President Thomas Jefferson in 1802 that their rights would be protected, no attempt was made to bridge the cultural gap. They received a patronizing note from a secretary that said: "Brothers, your father, the President, will at all times be your friend and he will protect you and all his red children from bad people."

...West Point graduate and onetime All-America center who made a fortune in the grocery-products business, is not surprised by Europe's response to his paintings.

Last week the U.S. Treasury had to pay 8.25% interest on a new 18-month note, the highest-priced money of its kind since 1859. Tight money has made many companies shy away from the bond market and sell new stock to avoid paying high interest rates. New issues are flooding the market and not selling well. Still, a record high volume of $3.8 billion of additional...
