Knowles' superb credentials made him a logical choice. A graduate of Harvard College and Washington University Medical School (cum laude), Knowles is a forward-looking doctor-administrator who became general director of Massachusetts General Hospital seven years ago at age 36. His reputation in the public health field is excellent. He has written four books-one of them considered a classic in pulmonary physiology-and teaches at Harvard Medical School...
...then, the pressure of a coalition of common sense had proved too much for Dr. William McCord, director of the Medical College Complex and a stubborn opponent of union recognition. Governor Robert McNair had long been demanding a peaceful conclusion. The local business community wanted an agreement, and the Nixon Administration sought to produce an acceptable formula. Then, at the urging of federal mediators and a newly formed citizens committee, talks began. They featured an interesting extra ingredient.

...Integrity! Freedom!" trumpeted the resolution passed by the Italian Association of Cinema Authors. "Any pornography or morbidity is preferable to repression."

Satyricon is the official name of a forthcoming fantasy about the sexual excesses of ancient Rome...
...evil Don John, who is the cause of all the trouble, Michael McGuire is aptly sourfaced. At the play's end, when John is reported to have been captured in flight and brought back, Benedick says, "Think not on him till tomorrow." But director Gill brings John on stage at once to participate merrily in the concluding festive dance. This is a glaring mistake; John is not to be so readily forgiven, nor exempted from the "brave punishments" Benedick promises to devise...
