...MOVEMENT that fostered last week's protests is simple only with respect to the horrendous way in which the minority leadership in South Africa treats the non-whites. In both subtle and direct ways, the struggle against America's role in apartheid involves a broad range of important issues, from racism in America, to the future of capitalism. But these related issues are clearly not what united the marchers on Thursday night, or the U-Hall protesters Friday. Many of these participants still refuse to address the broad economic question South Africa raises; others, even now, fail to recognize...
...economic viability of solar energy depends on the establishment of legislated support for both development and implementation. Tax incentives and direct loans for solar installations should be augmented and distributed promptly--1375 Massachusetts homeowners have waited for more than a year for $400 solar hot water heating grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Citizens should encourages Congress to repeal legislation that encourages fossil fuel consumption--such as that establishing federal highway funds--and urge legislatures and councils to modify those institutional arrangements--such as outmoded utility rate structures and building codes--that hinder the application of solar...
Havergal recently accepted a long-standing invitation from George Hamlin, producing director of the Loeb, to come over from his home in Glasgow, Scotland to direct a student production of a play of his choice.

"I was particularly keen to come here and work with students on a production," Havergal says, "because I haven't done any work with them since I left college [Oxford...
...tale of a romantically successful Bogart fan. In Bogart, Allen has found the perfect role model for all the short, ordinary-looking people of the world; after all, for Bogie, life--and dames--are simple. This is one of the few Allen films that Allen himself did not direct, and what is lost in manic humor is gained in coherence and sensitivity. Diane Keaton plays the paramour as usual, with the perfect blend of love, whine and neurosis. And the brilliant recreation of the famous Casablanca airport scene seems a perfect ending touch to this wonderful film...
