...selfishness, but childlike in its spirit. Whether the old miser would acquire this volume is a moot point. It is pricey; on the other wing, it is an investment. An entire genre of clothbound comic strips from Little Nemo to Doonesbury has flourished in the post-Pop era, but seldom has such loving care been lavished on a volume of bygone entertainment. Collectors would have to pay close to $2,000 for the original comics containing these stories, and even in those, the panels would not be so brightly colored, the backgrounds so vivid. Hand-bound on luxurious stock, this...
Florida's flossiest seldom discuss politics or economics. A visitor from Ohio insists: "The only recession is among the poor people." But geopolitics may be hissing, serpent-like, in the bougainvillaea. The Argentines, considered the world's best polo players, have been pillars of the sport in Florida, and so have the British.

By the end of the week, at least 70 Palestinians had been wounded by Israeli bullets; four Israeli soldiers and twelve civilians had been injured by Arab stones. In Gaza, a seven-year-old boy died from the effects of an Israeli...
...Levin's clever drama, things are seldom (if ever) what they seem, at least not for the first hour or so. It would be criminally unfair to those who haven't seen Deathtrap in either its play or movie form to reveal much more of the plot. Suffice it to say, reversal builds on reversal, a persistently wacky character arrives on the scene in the shape of, of all things, a Dutch psychic named Helga Tendorp, and things not only go bump in the night--they also scream and menace various characters with blunt objects...
Congregations seldom take their architect's first inspiration as gospel any more. Building committees do much soul searching about their needs. To develop a building program, says Architect Pietro Belluschi, is often in effect "to explore our relationship with God and to search for an understanding of the nature of religion as an institution." Belluschi, dean emeritus of the School of Architecture and Planning at M.I.T., is famous for, among other things, his simple, reverent churches in Oregon...
