...skimen's moments were unquestionably dim--sophomore Albert Leger had Harvard's best showing with a 26th-place finish in she 15-km. cross country race, alpinist Jeff Donahue copped 34th out of 50 in the slalom, and captain David Rothman, in his first race after a back injury, claimed the Crimson's best showing in the giant slalom with his 43rd-out-of-50 finish...
When the existence of Richard Nixon's self-destructive, secret taping system was dramatically revealed early one afternoon at the Senate Watergate hearings in July 1973, Democrats rose in righteous wrath to assail the President. "It's an outrage," fumed House Speaker Carl Albert. "It's so fantastic as to be almost beyond belief," stormed AFL-CIO President George Meany. "A violation of privacy," snapped Nixon's defeated 1972 election opponent, George McGovern. And when Nixon's defenders suggested that he was only doing what John F. Kennedy had quietly practiced, Historian Arthur M. Schlesinger...
...State vote mirrored divisions that already exist within the faculty. The C.F.A., linked to a nationwide teachers' union, the National Education Association, was supported by senior professors concerned with matters of scholarship and academic freedom.

Rolling Stone's two-stepping toward general interest is a tacit editorial admission that rock music is no longer taken as the unifying force of a generation. The eager reception of Albert Goldman's lowlife Presley biography (150,000 sold) is an indication that there is an audience that wants, even needs, to have the rock spirit despoiled. That spirit can find nothing new to focus on, never mind to rally around. Social issues have always been slightly suspect in rock. But the upheavals of the 1960s, like Viet Nam and civil rights, redirected and rejustified rock...
...George Dunlap (Albert Finney) wants to do is to give his 13-year-old daughter a typewriter for her birthday. It is hardly the impossible dream; it isn't even an unreasonable request. But George recently walked out on his wife Faith (Diane Keaton) and their four daughters, for all those vague but somehow imperative reasons for which people leave people these days, and Daughter Sherry (Dana Hill) is not buying any of them. Nor is she covering her confusion with forgiveness. Better just not to speak to the creep. When Faith tries to avoid a scene by keeping...
