...Harry Golden, 71, lost his own civil rights back in the '30s when he served a five-year term for perpetrating stock frauds through the mails. But Golden rehabilitated himself and became editor of the now-defunct Carolina Israelite, parlaying his faith in the American system into bestselling fame in a 1958 book of essays called Only in America. Still, only a presidential pardon could erase the penalties of being an ex-con, so Golden applied for one. Last week President Nixon granted his wish.

Died. Laurence Harvey, 45, veteran of more than 60 films, who first won fame in America as Joe Lampton, the ambitious cad in Room at the Top (1958); of cancer; in London.

As business schools go, Harvard's has the best reputation and is the most influential in the country...
...ambition and blind striving to exit the state but there was never enough heat to forge a steel hard version of truth. Perhaps the thrust of my departure propelled me high enough to see what I had been so charmed by and had blindly pursued in the name of fame and love of God as but the echo of an echo. The culture I aspired to see clearly would always by drowned by initial perceptions. Sunk beneath the latest translation and the re-re-echo. The Shangri-La Motel but the third version of an ersat movie. Of course...
