...electing 71 male students, Harvard's Alpha branch-founded in 1781 and the oldest continuous Phi Beta Kappa chapter in the nation-extended honorary memberships to Konrad Bloch, Higgins Professor of Biochemistry; John E. Dowling '57, professor of Biology, Ben Zion Gold, director of Harvard-Radcliffe Hillel and chaplin for the ceremony; Alexander Duncan Langmuin '31, a former visiting professor of epidemology; and Swenson...
Vinogradov, 44, is now working on a ballet about the life of Charlie Chaplin. He intends to invite Maurice Béjart to stage it in Leningrad. The gossip is that Vinogradov was brought into the Kirov five years ago to liven things up and keep the younger generation of dancers interested. Vinogradov is a snappy dresser who likes wide pinstripes or a modified cowboy look.

...wonder drug that would "supply the place of food, make the coward brave, the silent eloquent, and free the victims of alcohol and opium habit from their bondage."

Gandhi, who was photographed by Bourke-White in 1946, captured her technique with an admiring nickname: the Torturer...
Voyage en Douce insinuates itself much more memorably into one's mind. In it, two women who may well have taken part in the events of 1968 attempt to come to grips with the issues of grownup existence. Lucie (Geraldine Chaplin) is slightly the older, and definitely the less stable. Helene (Dominique Sanda) discovers her on her doorstep when she returns from a concert. Lucie is leaving her husband because he has imaginary affairs and permits their dog to watch them making love. These may not be grounds for divorce, but they do indicate that a change of scene...
