Lest we forget what brought us into this entire situation, there were two reasons for which this campus momentarily erupted into protest: the drastic and brutal escalation of American air strikes inside North Vietnam, which seemed to foreshadow the possibility of a nuclear confrontation with the Soviet Union, and the existence of a gruesome colonial war in Portugese Africa, financed by American corporations in which this University holds large amounts of stock. Yet now, as if the wars against the Vietnamese and the Africans have faded into thin air, our original concerns seem to have lost their meaning. What else...
...sudden freeze does not necessarily foreshadow large numbers of rate rollbacks. Grayson has pointed out that some of the large increases were due to the cost to the utility companies of new antipollution equipment. Such costs can legally be passed on to consumers.

Shades of rose, violet and pale turquoise give way in the lighting of the last scenes to the wild-set and dark-set of hues. If Ford's themes foreshadow Sade, Poe and Nabokov, the combined effect of Colacecchia's set and Jonathan Miller's lighting evokes the same sense of demented, striving sensuality found in the eighteenth-century etchings of Piranesi...
