That tax loophole allows "educational" and other nonprofit groups to escape any Government bite on their publishing income. Caplin is not alone in his complaint. Democratic Congressman John Schmidhauser of Iowa has been prodding the IRS and the Treasury Department for months, pleading with them to tap a source of revenue he estimates at $110 million yearly. The stalling, suggested Schmidhauser in a House speech, comes from senior bureaucrats' "unwillingness to step on powerful toes." Republican Glenn Cunningham of Nebraska made it a bipartisan fight. "This is no matter on which reasonable men can differ," said...
...disgruntled seniors not admitted to Social Sciences 139, Erikson's course on the Human Life Cycle. This has provoked me, usually not an outspoken student, to complaint. It is all right to limit a course by class or prerequisites, as long as all qualified people who want to take it are admitted. But it is a huge absurdity that a university of the size and affluence of Harvard must limit a course like Soc Sci 139 because of lack of staff, room, and money. Students can be rejected only arbitrarily, and the injustice of this is not merely institutional...

Ah, but if you're trying to cast Lucia in Magdeburg, Germany, and you have six sopranos who can sing it, then you have to know something about music." More reasonable is the complaint that Bing has failed to bring along enough first-rate conductors. He contends that "there are few really distinguished conductors around, but the shortage at the Metropolitan is no more severe than anywhere else. After all, nobody knows who conducts in Vienna when it isn't Von Karajan." More...
...expected, there were days when the supply of columnists seemed almost suffocating. Most performed predictably: Joseph Alsop was back full of high optimism about the war in Viet Nam; Henry J. Taylor took up space with a familiar complaint about undercover "Red spies" at the U.N. Others lent the paper a noticeable lift. Dick Schaap and Jimmy Breslin took a fresh look at the opening of the city's schools and a dress rehearsal at the Metropolitan opera. Society Columnist Suzy Knickerbocker was at her caustic best...
