...perhaps more than anything else, it is the account of the details of the dancers' world which makes Mazo's book fascinating. He has faithfully recorded where the Company members live (West 69th Street), where they eat (O'Neal's), what they do in their spare time (movies and crossword puzzles), their pre-performance rituals (a touch on the shoulder and a good-luck wish of "merde"), even the contents of the candy machine in the dancers' lounge. What would otherwise be trivialities accumulate to form a tantalizing mosaic of a way of life which demands the dedication...

Fonda plays Hellman, and Redgrave plays Hellman's friend Julia, a committed antifascist. The movie opens Oct. 3, and TIME Los Angeles Bureau Chief William Rademaekers talked to Fonda about it and about her life today...
Student budgetary demands fall into two categories: access and influence. CHUL members have almost complete access to the "91 account"--the budget for non-academic college expenditures. (Administrators prohibit full access since it would permit students to learn the salaries earned by particular staff members.) The 91 account includes such items as House funds for tutors, House activities and libraries, and shuttle bus service...
