Along with the Senate and the Baseball Hall of Fame, the Dow Jones industrial average is among the most exclusive clubs in the U.S. Its members read like a Who's Who of American industry. Stock prices for General Motors, IBM, Exxon, AT&T, U.S. Steel and 25 other blue-chip companies make up the widely watched Dow Jones average. Last week the editors of the Wall Street Journal, who choose the Dow's members, reshuffled the club's roster. Added to the list were McDonald's, the fast-food giant, and Philip Morris, maker of Marlboro. Dropped from...
...pond and watch the ripples create a certain amount of discussion."

In a speech to the Royal Institute of British Architects, he castigated a proposed steel- and-glass addition to the National Gallery as "a monstrous carbuncle on the * face of a much-loved and elegant friend...
...what the underground megamachine might accomplish is more boggling still: it would serve as a circular iron-and-steel racetrack for beams of subatomic particles, traveling at fantastic speeds, that would be smashed together in an effort to mimic conditions at the earliest moments of the universe. It would enable physicists to probe fundamental mysteries about the origin of matter and energy and could help them achieve a long-sought goal: to weave the four known forces of nature--electromagnetism, gravity, the weak force (responsible for radioactive decay) and the strong force (which holds atomic nuclei together)--into a single...
There's a lot of hate in this film. There's an attitude that problems are not solved with talk but with muscle and assorted steel by-products. Granted that when you go into a Schwarzenegger movie, you should expect more violence and less categorical imperative. Unfortunately, Commando isn't even entertaining at the gut level envisioned by Director Lefter.

If you're going to kill someone, at least kill them in an interesting...
...northwestern hamlet of Szczecinek, voting was temporarily disrupted when a woman gave birth to a healthy son beside the ballot box. In Walesa's hometown of Gdansk, 3,000 people marched through the streets carrying a banner that proclaimed WE WON'T GO TO THE POLLS, and in the steel-mill city of Nowa Huta, hundreds of youths clashed with plainclothes police. The head of Poland's Roman Catholic hierarchy, Jozef Cardinal Glemp, was conveniently in Rome on election day, and most of the country's 22,000 Catholic priests stayed away from the polls...
