...Frankie, Dylan, Gardol and S. & H. Green Stamps to 17.5 million listeners a week, or one Briton in three. Not only is the sport good for advertising bullion; the pirate stations have also become a symbol of the rebellion against the BBC, whose hoary morning Housewives' Choice is apt to consist of an Elvis Presley side, a Hawaiian number, a march, a Chris Barber moldy-fig opus-and, with luck, something as fresh as I Want to Hold Your Hand...
...distaste for "getting involved," and the story of people standing by passively while someone is being beaten up has become almost a newspaper cliche.

The aim, says Northwestern Graduate Dean Robert Baker, is to "impress the educational world with the validity of this stage of training." The Graduate Council at the University of California's Berkeley campus is studying a faculty recommendation to offer a similar degree to be called a Doctor...
