...NEWS originated in the fall of 1956 to consolidate three programs: HARVARD TODAY, SPORTS FINAL, and MIDNIGHT REPORT. It is intended to blend late evening news coverage into one program which presents a unified approach to events ranging from the strictly local to the international. Often, for example, a Harvard professor will comment publicly on a political issue; on the other hand a person of world reknown will often visit the Harvard community. ALL THE NEWS, by juxtaposing the coverage of these events, places each story in its proper context both here at Harvard and in the global scene...
Black and white seem particularly appropriate to the Norwegian contemporary of Ibsen, Edvard Munch. The great expressiveness, the somber, even frightening quality of his colors-that-are-not-color blend with Munch's main preoccupations: death, passion, loneliness, and anxiety. As he noted in his diary, "No more painting of interiors with men reading and women knitting. They must be living people who breathe, feel, suffer and love.

Reason: just like a baseball player, Dovima, a onetime $30-a-week candy counter girl, really wants her golden years to pay off. Lean, long Dovima sighed a prediction: "Photographers still like us as long, lean and thin as ever for fashion. But I think they are looking for a more natural, happy look instead of the gaunt...
...track field. Parry's carefully nurtured M.A. and P.A. blend inextricably into what irreverent teammates have been known to call "the vaudeville act of O'Brien and O'Brien." The show begins with Parry snarling around the track, sinking into what he calls his "competitive trance," beneath which lies the quick temper of a scalded hog. When the spirit moves him, he snatches up the shot in his left hand, licks the fingers of his right hand and rubs the saliva on the back of his neck. This is not superstition. The thin lamination of moisture...
