...this respect, WHRB is in a most fortunate position. Virtually every building in the University is directly hooked up to the station through a complicated array of audio lines. Consequently it can broadcast programs direct from Sanders Theatre, New Lecture Hall, Burr Hall, and dozens of other buildings. Through the Lowell Institute, WGBH actually paid for the installation of the audio lines, but they were installed, and are still supervised and maintained, by WHRB...
...Italy was San Francisco's James David Zellerbach, 64, board chairman of the $450 million Crown Zellerbach Corp., world's second-largest paper-products firm. An indefatigable worker, Ambassador-designate Zellerbach recently held five simultaneous chairmanships, 23 directorships, seven trusteeships and 25 memberships in an awesome array of companies, foundations, councils and clubs...

After hours, the bell desk turns into a pumpkin, and the Radcliffe Cinderella, unless she has a private phone, is virtually cut off from the outside world...

Brook Watson and the Shark was Copley's only real contribution to European art. Actually the work of his London peers (Romney. Gainsborough. Reynolds, West) corrupted Copley's homespun realism. To compete in such fast and fashionable company, the old dog learned a pathetic array of new tricks. He kept on painting industriously until his death at 77, but his ice-clear eye gradually veiled, his granite-firm hand practiced soft flamboyance, his powers slipped away like spirits bored with too much worldliness, sick of success...
