...David Gevanthor, a New York City executive, proposed a new White House post: Presidential Aide for Liaison, or PAL. Fifty of these PALS would be appointed to tour each of the states in trailers and serve as a "conduit to the White House...
...South Korean Trade Association's gift of $1 million to the East Asian Studies Department has sparked a chorus of denials, rationalizations, and hypocritical buck-passing from the Harvard administration, anxious to preserver its facade of liberal enlightenment. The KTA, closely tied to the Korean CIA, has been the conduit for funds from the right-wing Park dictatorship to influential policy-making institutions like Harvard in an attempt to buy further American economic and military aid. Park's regime has carried out massive executions and merciless tortures of those who dare to protest the miserably impoverished lives of the workers...

Through the '50s and early '60s he designed sets and costumes for Cunningham's dance troupe.

While preparing the conduit, Whitmore and his colleagues had to work with exceptional care, keeping intact the blood vessels feeding that excised section of small intestine. He then led the conduit to a small opening in Humphrey's skin that the surgical...
...televised spectacular, "Meet Your Next President." Television and the political party are thus engaged in a reluctant arms-length collaboration that exemplifies television's odd split personality, combining private enterprise and public service. Television begins the week as a persistent inquisitor and ends up as the patient conduit of a celebration. As solutions go, this one is ramshackle, Rube Goldbergishly American, but has its merits. The print journalists, though second-class citizens on the sidelines, are the true independents who give the convention whatever coherence and reflectiveness it gets...
