...well-heeled fans who contributed up to $250 apiece for seats at the Film Society of Lincoln Center benefit. "It's really a celebration of celluloid," quipped Newman, who sported a beard he had grown for his title role in Robert Altman's upcoming film, Buffalo Bill. Plainly relieved that his marathon round of interviews was coming to an end, Newman told his audience that he had come home one evening and complained, "I'm so sick of hearing my own voice." To which Wife Joanne had quickly replied, "Why were you listening?" "Lyndon Johnson used...
Died. Kenneth B. Keating, 74, ambassador to Israel; of heart disease; in Manhattan. A gregarious, backslapping lawyer in Buffalo, Republican Keating served six terms in the House before winning a Senate seat in 1958. "Politics," he joked, "is the ability to get money from the rich and votes from the poor while convincing both you are protecting each from the other." Crushed by Bobby Kennedy in his bid for reelection, Keating was named ambassador to India in 1969, and to Israel in 1973. In these posts he evolved a characteristically jocular definition of diplomacy: "Remembering a lady's birthday...
...summary, of the ten cities which have studied the effects of busing on the achievement levels of school children, one shows moderate gains (Sacramento), two showed mixed results (Hartford/New Haven, Rochester), three are inconclusive (Buffalo, Evanston, White Plains) and four show either houses or no significant gains (Ann Arbor, Berkeley, Boston, Riversides).

Scholars who have reviewed the evidence, including Armor, Bell, Edmonds, Giazer, and St. John, have concluded that using...
...referring to the journal article, Mr. Ferrara neglected to mention any of the findings which compare the gains of bused blacks to control groups of blacks left in segregated schools. On this point, I found that five of the ten studies (Berkeley, Buffalo, Connecticut, Rochester and Sacramento) found significant gains for the bused black groups over their black peers remaining in segregated schools. These gains were reported in black achievement levels, paragraph meaning comprehension, mental ability, school achievement, reading and arithmetic. This leaves five studies. Three of these (Evanston, Boston-Metco and White Plains) must be eliminated from the realm...
...stunning accusation threw salt on newly reopened wounds. Scarcely had a Buffalo jury convicted two inmates of involvement in the fatal beating of Prison Guard William Quinn during the 1971 uprising at Attica (TIME, April 14) than the news broke that a former chief aide to Attica Special Prosecutor Anthony G. Simonetti had charged that there had been a cover-up in the investigation of the revolt. Malcolm H. Bell accused his old boss of deliberately impeding the inquiry into possible criminal acts by law enforcement officers...
