CHRONICLE by Nadine Brozan
"The cast of 'New York Rock,' a rock opera by YOKO ONO, was
in rehearsal last week at a loft she owns in SoHo when
WALTER ONEIL, a singer and dancer, crashed into a wall,
leaving a three-foot hole...'So we made a frame, put the
frame around it, had everyone sign it, and we presented it
to her with a card on Sunday. She cried.'" (p. 20)
 
ELECTRONIC DONATING: GIVING TO CHARITY USING TELLER MACHINES
by Doron P. Levin
(Detroit) "Now, the cash machine accepts donations.
Last month, the users of Michigan National Bank's 300 automated
teller machines found a new menu item on the screes: information on
charities.
By pressing a few buttons, depositors are able to transfer
contributions directly from their accounts to one or more of 20
charities around the state. The machine provides a receipt
for tax records." (p. 39)
 
That's all.
