Hitch's biggest initial handicap is that he is a relatively unknown quantity to students and faculty. "Before his name came up," said Allan Mann, editor of U.C.L.A.'s Daily Bruin, "99% of us had never heard of him." Yet U.C.L.A. Student Government President Joseph Rubinstein considered it "a healthy sign that the regents have chosen an administrator-now we'll get things done." A faculty advisory committee reported that it was "happy" about the selection. No stranger to contentious factions in Government, Hitch has little apprehension of the potential frictions he will have to contend with...
...Deer are creatures that thrive in a disturbed environment," says Ben Glading, a California game official. "It seems that the more man upsets the natural environment, the better the deer like it." California, the nation's most populous state, also supports the nation's second biggest (behind Texas) deer herd-1,000,000. Pennsylvania has more deer today than when William Penn founded the colony. And in New York, where deer were extinct in 1915, the whitetail population...
Treasury Secretary Henry Fowler was as blunt as he was gloomy. Failure to enact a 10% income tax surcharge, he told Congress last week, would leave the U.S. with "an economy in shambles." Without higher taxes, insisted Fowler, the nation faces "the biggest deficit since World War II, an overheated economy and spiraling inflation, sky-high interest rates and tight money for all borrowers...
...shortage has been reflected in higher prices, which have risen nearly 33% since 1964. And now there is even rationing of the disappearing element. Manhattan-based Freeport Sulphur Co., which is the world's biggest producer (4,000,000 tons a year), has increased its output 70% over the past five years, but has had to limit its customers to 90% of their usual orders. Only two weeks ago, second-ranked Texas Gulf Sulphur (nearly 3,000,000 tons) began telling its buyers that they would have to settle for just 75% of their normal quotas during the next...
...countries, ranging from Trinidad-Tobago to the Soviet Union, sent 4,132 works of art. The U.S.'s lavish convocation of nearly 20 popartists' work, called "Environment U.S.A.," was selected by Brandeis University's William Seitz and bankrolled by the Smithsonian; it is easily the biggest crowd pleaser of the lot, although only one American, Jasper Johns, won a minor ($2,220) award. The U.S. exhibit, with its garish colors, ghoulish assemblages and grotesque figures, comes across as an eerie, lunar, angst-filled anti-advertisement for the Great Society. It also shows what dozens of artists representing...
