Abroad, allies whom we rescued from the shambles of World War II defy us, former enemies whom we defeated now often outproduce and outtrade us. Our power is challenged by growing Soviet ambitions and military prowess; by OPEC's endless extortions; by a chaotic, largely hostile Third World. Much of this situation was symbolized by two recent events that showed the U.S. relatively powerless: the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the Iranian hostage crisis...
...company, though, had to file long pleas with the Federal Communications Commission and wage endless court battles with AT&T before its service could be established. In landmark decisions in 1969 and 1971, the FCC allowed MCI and all other competitors to break Ma Bell's 50-year monopoly on long-distance calls. Last June a Chicago federal court ruled that AT&T had to pay MCI $1.8 billion in damages, because the telephone giant would not allow it to use AT&T lines to relay calls between 1971 and 1975. It was the biggest antitrust judgment ever...
...past 30 years, vanguard art seems to have lost its "political" role. At the same time, although we still have lots of art - a stream of it, feeding an apparently insatiable market and providing endless opportunities for argument, exegesis and comparison - painting and sculpture have ceased to act with the urgency that was once part of the modernist contract.

...concert, noses tilted ever so slightly skyward, vowels stretched to aristocratic dimension, the Kroks still satiate the regulars. (They play Lowell House tonight at 8:15.) For others, repulsed either by the endless references to Bermuda, the heavy Porcellian-Krok alliance, or by a cappella singing in general, the Krok music and spirit remains anathema. Yet the Kroks should be seen, and their unique talent appreciated, if not savored. Watching those immaculate dandies preen, one can imagine, just for a moment, how the other half lives, sings--and sometimes--flourishes...
...looks like he'll have to turn down the job if the offer ever arrives. "I can't go down to Washington--my students have already handed in their study cards, and they'd be left out in the cold," DeMuth said Wednesday. Of course, if the endless transition doesn't get around to EPA until after finals, it could be another story...
