Under retiring President Victor L. Butterfield, Wesleyan's "College Plan" has accented independent study for undergraduates. Similarly, Wesleyan's freewheeling Ph.D. programs (in biology, physics, math and world music) allow students to ground themselves broadly in the liberal arts, combatting complaints of the stifling specialization of most doctoral studies...
...Chicago, two new blues clubs on the predominantly white North Side feature not only the likes of Howlin' Wolf and Otis Rush but also a white lawyer's son named Paul Butterfield, who soaked up the Negro style during a five-year apprenticeship in South Side bands. Some blues buffs .are beginning to worry that the art, increasingly cut off from its country roots and diluted by white encroachments, will grow moribund.

...PAUL BUTTERFIELD, at 24, is a virtuoso on the harmonica, the new "in" instrument that folk aficionados, picking up an old colloquialism, call a "harp."

...John O'Hara, 60, in his weekly column for Long Island's Newsday. Accepting the advice, O'Hara proceeded to administer a few verbal thunks to Elizabeth Taylor, 33, who had gotten sore in 1959 about having to star in a movie version of his novel Butterfield 8. The objection wasn't literary, said O'Hara, it was just that M-G-M insisted on her doing Butterfield for $150,000 when she wanted to get started on Cleopatra for $2,000,-000. Her basic mistake, the column went on, was giving "the remarkable opinion...
