...delight in poking fun at 40 years later. During his long association with the International Style, he built some of its canonical late buildings, notably his own glass house on his estate at New Canaan (1959) and, with Mies, Manhattan's Seagram Building (1958), which survives as the virtual Parthenon of glass-grid architecture. But unlike some other men of his generation, Johnson kept his restless, stylish sense of incongruity and his loathing of repetition. He is the Balanchine of architecture. His range is wide, running from the Renaissance monumentalism of the A T & T building to the airy...

Chernenko headed the Moldavian party's propaganda department. After Brezhnev succeeded Nikita Khrushchev as party chief in 1964, his protege first became...
Barnes, an administrative law judge for the Federal Trade Commission, last week ruled that the American Medical Association's code of ethics illegally restrains competition among doctors by preventing them from advertising. That policy, said the judge, has resulted in virtual price fixing, deprived consumers of the information they need in selecting a doctor and "stifled the rise of almost every type of health care delivery that could potentially pose a threat to the income of fee-for-service physicians in private practice...
