...network look is spreading. The Arts & Entertainment Network, which offers cultural fare and "quality" programming from Britain, also telecasts reruns of such defunct network series as United States and Breaking Away. Nickelodeon, the children's channel, is trying to attract older viewers at night with reruns of chestnuts like The Donna Reed Show and Route 66. Even MTV now interrupts its playlist of rock videos with a sitcom on Sunday nights, an import from Britain called The Young Ones...
...wedged in between Guisseppe Gelato and the Coffee Connection, celebrates its first birthday this month. Perhaps the location itself is a jinx: replacing a short-lived flavored popcorn emporium, Top Dog seldom appears to attract lines of customers any longer than the phantom queues of its defunct predecessor.

People who liked it really liked it, and stayed. Land enough...

For example, the now defunct Harvard Journal of Negro Affairs was a high quality periodical which, under the influence and sponsorship of Dean of Students, Archie C. Epps III and Professor Martin Kilson, ran for approximately four years (the Dean was then a graduate student and tutor). These exceptions however, merely underline the rule. To this should be added the extraordinary organizational efforts of Plummer Professor of Christian Morals Peter J. Gomes who has sponsored the biannual William Belden Nobel lectures, and those of the William J. Seymour Society which...
