...expanded the curriculum to include courses on black culture and his tory, next fall plans to launch a new : School of Urban Sciences to attack the problem of ghettos. Says Cheek: "It is our contention that the urban cri sis, except for air pollution and transportation, is basically a problem of black people." Cheek thinks that it is therefore up to black people to find solutions. Rather than overloading his faculty with Ph.D.s, he would prefer to hire "somebody like Claude Brown," the angry author of Manchild in the Promised Land. He would like to set up a program under...
From this jumble of material in the XR cage, it is difficult to guess what criteria Harvard uses to condemn a book to the XR imprisonment. Sassow admits that there are no written cri- teria for judging XR books, and says there are inconsistencies in the classification. A quick check of the Widener card catalogue illustrates these inconsistencies. Of Widener's 39 books on homosexuality, for example, 30 are kept in the XR cage and nine in the stacks.

Dior's Marc Bohan must have robbed every hen house and bird cage on the Continent. He whipped up topcoats of grouse, full-length evening coats of grackle, blouses of speckled hen feathers and wove materials half in tweed and half in pin feathers...
Last week Daniell had good news: the Bank of England cut its interest rate from a forbidding 7% , which had pre vailed since last November's pound cri sis, to 6% . While the lower rate will tempt some international speculators to shift their money out of British banks, the government hopes that it will also stimulate the economy sufficiently to at tract other deposits. The Bank of Eng land's directors felt confident enough to take that risk because British reserves are strengthening; last week the Treas ury announced that the sterling area's gold and foreign...
