...will probably not be the Class Day speaker this year. For one thing, he is probably too busy setting odds with British journalists on when he will replace Henry A Kissinger '50 as secretary of state. Also, Richardson had his shot at the seniors last year, following Woody Allen's second annual rejection of the coveted honor. In any case, the next week should settle the matter: at this very moment, the class of 1975 is weighing the comparative merits of giving Allen one last chance and striking...
...choices--University of Oklahoma president J. Herbert Hollomon and writers Jimmy Breslin and Tom Wicker--ranged from inoffensive to creditable, with even more commendable choices, such as Madame Binh of Paris Peace Talks fame, who finished seventh in 1973, garnering some student support. In 1973, the first year that Allen passed up his chance, the Class committee came up with playwright Arthur Miller as the next best thing.

Traditionally, the presiding officer gives Senators a chance to speak their piece, but Rockefeller ignored Allen, even though the Senator twice more raised...
...Dorfman have been realized within the pictures themselves and few of them are memorable as purely formal images. Dorfman's intimacy with her subjects has not yielded the insight we expect. Many of Dorfman's friends are poets and writers and several of her photographs, like those of Allen Ginsberg and Robert Crocley are interesting simply because they show us famous people relaxing and joking and reading the morning paper. But for someone who says, "It isn't an accident, I think, that the body of my work stems from my relationship with these people." Dorfman has little to tell...
