...central issue in this battle, as in most Washington disputes, is money. Pentagon budget planners accuse the Navy of waste and mismanagement and of failing to set priorities among its various missions. The Navy's $41 billion slice of next year's proposed $126 billion defense budget is the largest allotted any individual military service and is an increase over this year's $39.5 billion. The admirals, however, are not satisfied. They correctly complain that inflation will turn this modest increase into an actual reduction. But what distresses them most is that shipbuilding funds, which they consider the backbone...
Like a giant slice of orange rind, the scaffolding pulled away from the cement that had been laid the previous day, and hurtled to the ground. Said Katie Robinson, a worker's wife: "When the scaffold began to fall from one end, 12 or 15 men were trying to find a way off, and they walked back one way and then they turned around, and I thought they were going to try to jump.

Companies bowing to such orders include ITT, Continental Baking for Profile bread (whose claimed fewer calories per slice, the FTC charged, was attained simply by making its slices thinner), Ocean Spray for cranberry juice and Amstar for Domino sugar. All signed consent decrees; Warner-Lambert was the first to ask the courts to rule that it did not have to take back its previous claims. Now that it has definitively...

If, on the other hand, the film tries to represent a 'slice of life,' a sampling of the ghetto experience, then it succeeds. The unrefined and somewhat static nature of the characters can only add plausibility to what can loosely be terned a naturalistic film...
...greedy, apoplectic vitality. On first sight, they look as though a squad of glue-snorting graffitists had been let loose with crayons, spray cans and party glitter in a constructivist warehouse. Surfaces that Stella would once have left pure and flat are loaded with rich, scribbled color. The shapes slice and crash, in and out, mocking the conventions of flatness and integrity of the picture plane...
