Lance Hearings on TV: What Is Out of Focus? |
|
| |
THE LAST few days, you could see Bert Lance on television all over Washington like he was the World Series. You could see him in store windows and in offices and on color televisions and on black and whites. You could see him on large screens and small screens and even those screens where the color and everything seems to be out of whack. That's the screen for the Bert Lance Affair.There is something wrong here and it has to do with perspective. You could sense that right off...

WASHINGTON BIRD WATCH |
|
| |
IT LOOKS VAGUELY suspicious. At six o'clock in the morning, two scruffy-looking men and shambling up the path between the C & O Canal and the sylvan glen that presses against the eastern bank of the Potomac. Sometimes they creep like children playing Indians. Sometimes they make cooing signals into the bush. Occasionally, they whip out Zeiss binoculars and peer at objects invisible to the untrained eye.Spies? Two old coots having a rip after an all-night bringe?...

NOW THAT a well-known book club is offering the Oxford English Dictionary as a come-on offer to prospective members, many people take it without realizing what will soon appear on their doorsteps - the rationable being that at a list price of $75 it must be extraordinarily good dictionary. And extraordinary it is; for it is the most comprehensive English dictionary based on historical principles ever published, with quotations illustrating the history of usage from the 11th century to the end...

Year Passes, So Does Oil Spill Threat |

Dude Gets Busted |

Richie Parker felt confident about himself. He would match his wits against anybody. He felt comfortable with the people of 14th Street NW and with his ability to deal with hijackers and Mafia fences. This scene was all part of Richie's world, the familiar cement corridors along U and T Streets and 14th Street NW. an aging and decaying part of Washington that was still scarred by the destruction of the 1968 riots: an area of abandoned buildings, slum apartments, bars, small clothing...

THE RICE CONNECTION |
|
| |
AMERICANS THROW rice at brides, process it into certain brands of beer and breakfast food and consume mushy quantities in soups. But most Americans are not great rice eaters. Year after year, a mere 17,000 U.S. rice farmers grow far more than the country needs.This annual discrepancy between the nation's rice productivity and American appetities frequently has colored politics at home and diplomacy abroad. And now it appears that commissions from the sale of surplus rice have...
