...will go through a threeyear, eleven-month course of study, with two weeks off at Christmas and in August. The atmosphere will be permissive; students are called "colleagues," and rules are called "expectations." But with most courses in give and take seminars or tutorial sessions, the school hopes to avoid the academic laxness that a free rein might encourage. "It could be Suntan U., but it won't be," says Florida-born George Baughman, 49, who resigned three years ago as vice president for business affairs at New York University to head New College...
...year, the lira has gained slightly against the pound, lost only 4/10 of 1% to the dollar. But Italy's economy still faces a tough and crisis-ridden fall. Whether it survives in good shape depends largely on whether it can check its upward wage spiral and thus avoid pricing itself out of world markets...
...paper in San Francisco, that recurrent rumors of doom wheel above it like vultures. Only last month, a new rumor began circling: the News-Call Bulletin would soon be absorbed by Hearst's other San Francisco paper, the Examiner, which would then switch from a.m. to p.m. to avoid unprofitable competition with the city's third daily, the morning Chronicle.

The new owners called themselves Gedney Farm (for tax reasons of their own) and turned the horse over to Trainer Neloy...
...wreck is credibly contrived. While circling Mars on a reconnaissance mission, the astronaut (Paul Mantee) changes course to avoid a meteor and so falls deep into the planet's field of force. To escape eventual incineration, he ejects his capsule and plunges down into a scene of staring desolation. Hell-hot by day and by night pole-cold, the Mars of the movie supports no visible life and very little atmosphere. However, the astronaut does not expect to be there very long. From the wreck of his capsule he rescues food for 60 days, water for five days, oxygen...
