THE LINDBERGH LEGACY |
|
| |
I WAS BORN too late for Lindbergh, and the idea of heros seems oddly old-fashioned now. Old-fashioned isn't right. Naive. Silly. Impossible. You name it. We know they don't exist, and the ones we believed in have proven to be fallen, or false, idols.Mine, from childhood, were a strong, silent, uncomplaining, courageous cast, demigods from the sports world: Lou Gehrig, the selfish stoic, dying by inches and knowing it, and yet murmuring that he was the luckiest man...

The 'Compelling Logic' of Neighborhood Diversity |
|
| |
In a dirty and brawling village of the Middle East, unzoned, unplanned, choked with the sons of David returning to be taxed, the Prince of Peace was born.Bethlehem was no "city beautiful," surely no "suburb beautiful." Yet amidst its squalor and confusion, it throbbed with life, with a rich diversity of peoples and culture. Into that scene came the new life that would change the world.For generations now, the United States has been...

Little Change In Outlook |
|
| |
To someone with a hangover, the pop of a fire-cracker can sound like the boom of a cannon.Similarly, to an economy still cluttered with the two-year-old memory of the worst inflation and then the worst recession since World War II, movements in production,wages or prices can be magnified out of perpective.Despite recent burst of prices - inflation at the wholesale and retail level has been at a double-digit pace in recent weeks - and a sharp acceleration of growth, the outlook for the...

Adventures of the Dollar |
|
| |
COUNTRIES SOMETIMES confuse currency exchange rate with flags, anthems and all the other symbols of national prestige. The U.S. dollar in recent months had been slipping slowly downward in relation to several other currencies, mostly notably West Germany's and Japan's. The question is whether that's bad - whether it's a sign, you might say, of national decline. The short answer is no. But large changes seem to be overtaking the world's... |

THE METRO LUNCH is catching on. So far, there are only hand-lettered signs in the restaurants to tell us that we are a block from a stop. But carryouts with names like Metro Way are appearing near Metro entrances. When word got about that the new building over the Farragut North stop would have space for an eatery, dozens of restaurateurs sent in bids. Said one of the building's officials, "All the carryouts in the world are calling."Old friendships are... |
