...Picture is more complicated at Harvard. Women will soon constitute close to 50 percent of the undergraduate student body. If those women were to perceive themselves as Radcliffe students, then when they have their turn at wealth and power, that wealth and power would accrue not to Harvard, but to Radcliffe. However, to the extent that wealth is power, Radcliffe, compared to Harvard, is indeed powerless. A $36 million endowment is not much compared to one worth $1 billion. And the balance of power in the U.S. (or in the world) is not about to shift so drastically that women...
...tale of frustration began just after most of Harvard had fled Cambridge for the lands of suntans, skiing or other diversions. Out to prove it could stay with a 6-0 Boston College squad, the Crimson came from a 9-0 opening deficit at the Garden to close the vacation opener to 13-12, early in the first half...
Poet Allen Ginsberg, a close friend of both Kerouac's and the Cassadys', so objected to the way he was portrayed in the screenplay of Heart Beat that he demanded he be dropped entirely.

When Marcella Hazan published The Classic Italian Cook Book in 1976, it was considered the definitive opus. Her sequel, More Classic Italian Cooking (Knopf; 496 pages; $15), is as valuable as its predecessor. Scooping up irresistible formulations from palazzo, trattoria and country cottage, she makes available...
...gifts of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller that all these songs have already slipped so securely into contemporary tradition that they seem less like the work of writers than the product of a shared musical history. That is as it should be, since Leiber and Stoller always worked best close to the roots. In a sense, they even became part of the roots, a fact richly demonstrated in a new book, Baby, That Was Rock & Roll (Harvest/HBJ; $6.95), that is part song compendium, part photo album, part biographical appreciation, and all long past...
