Edward W. Powers, director of employee relations, said yesterday the hearing on Holcomb's case will take place after the completion of a preliminary investigation on part of Holcomb's complaint against the University...
...There just aren't that many up-front roles for actresses these days," pouts Carol Kane, echoing Hollywood's longest running complaint. At 23, though, Kane seems to be doing all right. Cast as a winsome prostitute in The Last Detail, and as a bank robber's hostage in Dog Day Afternoon, she has finally found her proper niche in Hester Street, in which she stars as a Jewish immigrant to the U.S. in 1896.

...prone to fits of delusive grandeur as a Southern gentlewoman, Miss Edwina is the greatest single influence on Williams' life and work.

Yale's children enter the real world less than whole, or believe they do--in the way they deal with other people, for example, they feel somehow narrow, somehow deformed. In some ways this feeling is related to a complaint that can be heard elsewhere in the Ivy League these days, that colleges are like sausage factories, stuffing narrow, repressed professional casings. The Buttfucks, who have a perspective on this, say that the people who cannot bend with the pressure become burned-out candle-makers in Sausalito...
