Kerr's firing was not all that much of a surprise; many of the regents have openly blamed him for failing to pre vent two years of intermittent disorder at the university's oldest and most prestigious branch at Berkeley. But the timing of the dismissal was a shock. Only a week earlier, Kerr had fought forcefully, in joint cause with most of the regents, against a 20% budget cut and a tuition fee proposed by newly installed Governor Ronald Reagan (TIME...
Scenarist Paul Dehn, who also wrote the script for Spy, this time too often jumps the main track of the tale to lollygag along a branch line, and Director Sidney Lumet (The Group) has either miscast or misdirected some of his principals. Mason and Signoret, however, are pathetically impressive as a couple of mice wandering in a maze designed for rats.

...pressing immediate goal has been to raise $7.4 million to add eleven floors to finish one of its major research buildings begun more than five years ago and to complete the final floor on another.

Toward financing this construction a grant for $4.6 million has been approved by the Public Health Service of the Federal Government. So the immediate objective is for an additional $4 million. A Centennial Campaign is now being organized to secure these funds...
...Opel, fueled with Esso gasoline, he drives to an office equipped with Remington typewriters, ITT telex machines and IBM computers. While his wife runs a Hoover vacuum cleaner, a Singer sewing machine and a Sunbeam iron, he confers with his American advertising agency and stops at a branch of First National City Bank of New York. If he sneezes in the wintry damp, he pulls out a Kleenex. If his boss needles him, he calms down with a Miltown. Relaxing in the evening, he puffs an R. J. Reynolds Reyno menthol cigarette, listens to RCA, Columbia or Capitol records...
