KALEIDOSCOPE. Love and larceny in the biggest gambling casinos of Europe. Warren Beatty makes the scene as a rich American playboy with a surefire method for breaking the bank, and Susannah York is the breezy British bird who helps him spend the loot...
With that kind of defense, plus an offense that has averaged 37 points a game, U.C.L.A. could probably bank on a return engagement in the Rose Bowl -if only it weren't for Southern Cal. U.S.C.'s Trojans are ranked No. 5. They are also itching for revenge against Prothro's Bruins.

Says a Columbia Teachers College professor: "Bank Street was willing to go down and dirty its hands in the New York City schools at a time when Columbia and New York University wouldn't be caught dead there." The Bank Street staff now advises teachers in 24 Harlem area schools under foundation contracts...
