...terrorists in a catering office at the Rose Bowl, site of the Olympic soccer matches. A traffic snarl brought two major freeways to a steamy standstill, and a landslide smothered a chunk of the Pacific Coast Highway. During the Olympic cycling event, a section of bleachers at the Dominguez Hills velodrome collapsed, injuring 50 people. By day's end Angelenos had survived a bomb scare and a raging brushfire...
...first shock came early in the fall, with the news that Professor of Government Jorge I. Dominguez had been officially punished by Dean of the Faculty Henry Rosovsky for sexually harassing a junior faculty member in the department. The University confirmed that a "serious" harassment case had occurred in the Government department, but refused to disclose the name of the harasser, or the punishment meted out. The response was in keeping with the Faculty of Arts and Sciences' official policy not to disclose any particulars in harassment cases, and its more informal policy to consider such cases a "private matter...
Rosovsky's refusal to detail the action taken in the Dominguez case understandably provoked strong protest from sections of campus. The Radcliffe Union of Students (RUS) strongly condemned the University's response as inadequate while several graduate and undergraduate students chose to boycott a class taught by Dominguez to protest the University's handling of the case.

...half right. Last week's revelation that the United States Information Agency (USIA) had blacklisted Coretta Scott King, Sen. Gary W. Hart (D-Colo.). Walter Cronkite, Ralph Nader and Brooks himself from a government-sponsored speaking tour has publically embarrassed the agency. Harvard Professors John Kenneth Galbrath. Jorge I. Dominguez and Richard N. Cooper were also deemed untrustworthy by the list. With a large appropriation of money about to be given to the agency for a new worldwide video program, such McCarthyite tendencies must be nipped in the bud. But Brooks is generous when he says heads shouldn't roll...
