...commonly practiced in America has lost its essence. However, there are also arguments that Buddhism as it was practiced in Asia drowned in the cultural trappings of the region. In these arguments, there is no clear resolution. The place of American Buddhism within the larger tradition is still in flux, and Asian Buddhism is changing with American Buddhism as well.

Harvard also lost junior back Jason Andersen to a recent injury. Partly because of that injury and partly for strategic reasons, Harvard has been toying with a 4-4-2 alignment instead of its usual...

But if you catch both specials, you begin to realize that the two 1970s were really one: a decade of populism, individualism and social flux when the rules were up for grabs--a situation we can thank for both The Last Picture Show and the leisure suit. Goof or Golden Age? For one week, as was the 1970s mantra of Burger King and Hollywood's auteurs, you can have it your way. --By James Poniewozik
