...scarcely matters what time is assigned to these stories; the author's clock has stopped in the '30s, when naturalism reigned and bourgeois society was the ordure of the day. The revolutionaries of that epoch now resemble entries on some tarnished armed services memorial: Edward Dahlberg, Benjamin Appel, Richard Wright, James T. Farrell. Of them all, only Farrell is still doing business at the same old stand. His ear for dialogue remains metallic (" 'And now, to no self-neglect,' he said, raising his glass and drinking"). His plots are, as always, mere runways for their adrenal...
...cent of last year's Harvard Law School graduates currently employed with private firms, the more than 100 laboring in New York City earn between $18,000 and $26,500, while the remainder of the class, particularly the fifth who work for the government, earn appreciably less, Eleanor Roberts Appel, placement director at the Law School, said...
...Energy Commission has a half interest, are geared up to go. At least one mine will be in full production by 1981, with others following in short order. At current world prices, the lode is worth an estimated $35 billion. As one Wall Street analyst, Andrew Racz, of Philips, Appel and Walden Inc., says: "Uranium could be to Australia what oil is to Saudi Arabia...
...quarterfinals. The record-breaking and-by Wimbledon's well-bred standards-surprisingly rowdy crowds adopted as their darling a 14-year-old, pigtailed Californian named Tracy Austin. The youngest player in the history of the tournament, Tracy convincingly won her first match against Holland's Elly Vessies-Appel 6-3, 6-3. Her curtsy to the Duke of Devonshire might have been gangly legged and selfconscious, but her tennis was graceful and self-confident. She also had the fire to win. The New Chris Evert met the Old Chris Evert in a third-round match reminiscent of Chris...
...mathematics, Appel and Haken's achievement may mean more than the end to a stubborn problem. Up to now, many theorists have been wary of using computers rather than simple, elegant blackboard equations to seek out basic mathematical truths; tedious chores like tracking a spacecraft, which involve no new principles, were left to the electronic brains. Now, by dramatically showing that there may be certain fundamental questions that only the high-speed electronic whizzes can answer, Appel and Haken may well have ushered in a new era of computer computation on the frontiers of higher mathematics...
