...salary as an assistant professor was only $13,000, and he worried about gaining tenure. So he was happy to do some consulting for the Social Welfare School of the New York State University at Stony Brook, and even happier when Stony Brook offered him a full professorship, tenure, the possibility of "innovative teaching," and $26,000 a year. Without telling either university about his job at the other, Mills began making four weekly trips over the 115 miles between New Haven and Stony Brook. At Yale, on Fridays, Saturdays and Tuesday nights, he taught his two regular courses...
Crimson captain Dave Fish is unranked, but he had little trouble advancing through three rounds. Fish topped Yale's Charlie Berry, 15-12, 15-12, 16-14, and Stony Brook's Eric Clark, 15-11, 15-8, 15-12, before capping the day with a three game sweep of Army's number one, Ray Federici. Fish must meet Navy's Gordon Perry, the number three seed, in the quarterfinals. He should win the match, and advance to play number two, Ty Griffin, in the semifinals...

The turnover rate among secretaries and clerical help has dropped in some departments from 100% each year at the old Loop offices to about 25% at the new Oak Brook base. Executives also feel that productivity...
...scenes of murder and madness, a feeling for the benign possibilities of the supernatural lies always in the background. This is certainly most due to the color photography which consistently catches the pastoral qualities of the countryside (a far cry from the studied bleakness of the landscape in Peter Brook's recent King Lear). The clean, brilliant pastels of the opening sunrise out of which the three witches emerge or the shot of Macbeth's castle seen from a distance set against an evening sky both work as a kind of unstated alternative to the grimy human tragedy acting itself...
