...first-year graduate students. Johnson was well aware of the effects no change would have on the graduate schools. The American Council on Education, President Pusey, and other education officials had done a thorough job of informing him through personal meetings with Defense Secretary McNamara and Presidential aide Douglass Cater, public testimony before representative Edith Green's (D-Ore.) Special House Subcommittee on Education, and personal conversations behind the scenes...
...climate and partly because much of the local tap water, though safe enough to drink, would shrivel a mess sergeant's taste buds. The demand is spreading. Mountain Valley Water Co. distributes its green bottles of spring water from Hot Springs, Ark., to 40 states. And to cater to tastes brought home by tourists, President John G. Scott has added such familiar European mineral waters as Evian, Vichy-Célestins and Fiuggi to the company's line of products...
...when he was killed but he seemed much older. This is largely because he had perfect taste and a disregard for fashion. For one thing, he never confused expressiveness with frenzy, the way Wilson Pickett often seems to do. Redding was absolutely uncompromised.

Harper, at 51, has been eased up to the chairmanship, and active command has been taken over...
...antidote to Broadway's bruising hit-or-flop economy is the regional theaters' desire to nurture new plays and playwrights. Up to now they have been pretty timid about it. The tendency is to cater to the subscribers' varied tastes by dividing a season between classics, proven Broadway hits of recent vintage, and such fashionable avantgardists as lonesco, Beckett, Pinter and the ubiquitous Brecht. More ambitious than most, Los Angeles' Mark Taper Forum is genuinely trying to offer original plays. One such experiment, Oliver Hailey's Who's Happy Now?, opened last week...
