...usually avoided dealing with prostitutes because he felt they were untrustworthy, showed up to demand money. Ratnoff made a quick check, since all sorts of people claiming to be cops were in the habit of trying to shake down Xaviera. He found that, sure enough, Phillips was a bona fide policeman. "Let's wire up on him," a commission member told Ratnoff. They had their...
Finally, in the best and the only bona fide play of the evening. "The Werewolf" by Sheldon Feldner, an assistant professor of drama at Emerson College, the Polinskys get around to a real exercise in theatrics. Steve is a rather tiresomely portrayed, holier than thou priest. Joel is an invading crazy, convinced that he's a werewolf and on the verge of committing suicide. After a long series of thrusts and counterthrusts (the play does have some difficulty finding itself), the werewolf bests the priest by demonstrating that secret sins don't disappear simply by being confessed. The only real...
Disillusionment awaits them. "The Government has no obligation to finance the U.S. citizen abroad or to pay his fare home," insists Ralph Cadeaux, chief of special services at the U.S. consulate in London. Some 300 young supplicants call on Cadeaux every week. In bona fide emergencies, he lets them call home from the consulate-collect.

Reinforcing that image is the party's leader, mild-mannered former journalist Giorgio Almirante, 55. A bona fide Fascist under Mussolini, whose picture hangs in the party's Rome headquarters, Almirante has prudently banned jackboots and black shirts for his followers. More in the mold of the old image of Fascist leaders is Retired General Giovanni de Lorenzo, former Army Chief of Staff...
College campuses have led the way. In 1965, only 25 colleges gave accredited courses directly or indirectly related to jazz. By next September, some 500 will offer jazz as part of bona fide curriculums; the University of Utah has just instituted a Ph.D. in jazz composition. As recently as 1967, only one U.S. college-North Texas State-offered a major in jazz. This year ten colleges are awarding jazz degrees. Other schools offer swinging seminars by guest "professors" like Cannonball Adderley, Clark Terry and Billy Taylor who discuss such vital matters as the trumpet lip trill and, almost as important...
