...currently on trial for income tax evasion, extortion and labor-law violation, last week granted a rare interview to TIME Correspondent S. Chang at his sumptuous Western-style house on the fringes of Kobe, which neighbors have dubbed the "Taoka Palace." "Throughout the interview," Chang cabled, "there was a distinct element of opéra bouffe. The house compound is patrolled by a handful of crop-haired, heavy-set henchmen, who in greeting bow gawkily, like giant pandas trying to crouch. Inside, Taoka's great drawing room is deeply carpeted and adorned with many trophies presented to him from...
...Tooth Merchant, Sulzberger's knowledge is very much in evidence, but so is a distinct sense of humor.

In this context, this year's J.V. team previews the next two or three years of Harvard fencing, revealing upcoming strengths in foil and epee, but underscoring a distinct need to develop quality sabre performers. The comparative weakness of the J.V. sabre team makes the departure of first-team seniors Terry Valenzuela and Walter Morris all the more significant...
...Faculty faces two distinct proposals for revision. It should quickly dispose of a resolution drafted by the Faculty Council, which only promises to exacerbate the problems that have faced the CRR in the past. A proposal advanced by William Paul, McKay Professor of Applied Physics, deserves lengthier consideration, but all of its provisions except one--the amendment intended to revitalize the long-dormant Commission on Inquiry--should also be voted down...
