...mood Brezhnev struck during the interview was one of seriousness and sincerity. Though stating an essentially tough Soviet line, he was reaching for understanding, looking hard into the faces across from him. Only twice did he display spontaneous animation. At one point he picked up a bent paper clip, twirled it almost delicately in one large hand until all eyes were concentrating on it and then thumped the table strongly, saying, "Mir, mir, i yeshche raz mir" (peace, peace, and once again peace). Later, when Ray Cave said he hoped they would meet again at the 1980 Olympics in Moscow...
...Wyeth, or Nephew Jamie, a high-priced painter at 32, Carolyn has rarely shown her works. "I hate fame," she says. "I hate money." But at age 69, she seems to be courting both.

Two of the entries, CBS's Co-ed Fever and NBC's Brothers and Sisters, are rip-offs of National Lampoon 's Animal House; ABC's Delta House is a spinoff. In the competitive circus of TV, where arcane distinctions mean everything, the ABC show has the decided edge. Delta House may not quite be Animal House, but at least it is the one genuine forgery...
Goodfriend has willed his Harvard journal to the University archives, who will display it sometime this year. He hopes it will serve Harvard as more than a visual history, however. He tells students, "I really think most college-age people blow their lives away--20 years from now, you'll remember little of what you do today. Keep a diary...
