...Saturday Review's problems can hardly be explained away by a single botched promotion. Some observers think that the change in January 1972 from a weekly format to four different monthly magazines-covering science, the arts, education and the society-was a disaster. "Advertisers don't know if it's a weekly or a monthly," said Norman Cousins, SR's former owner and editor (and hardly an impartial critic). Cousins split with Charney and Veronis rather than fall in with their plans. He formed his own new magazine, World, which attracted some readers who otherwise would...
...paying fans who came out to the Idaho State University "Mini-dome" in Pocatello recently for the I.T.A.'s single dress-rehearsal meet saw more than amateur theatrics. The abbreviated twelve-event format was, as the promoters put it, "sequentially choreographed," eliminating the usual clutter caused when two or three events are staged simultaneously. When Pole Vaulter Bob Seagren bounded his way to an easy victory over three opponents by reaching 17 ft. 6 in., the audience was not distracted by competition in the mile run.

...other moments he seems decid ed to be a true sorcerer or bust. "Power takes care of you," he says, "and you don't know how. Now I'm at the edge, and I have to change my whole format. Writing to get my Ph.D. was my ac complishment, my sorcery, and now I am at the apex of a cycle that includes the notoriety. But this is the last thing I will ever write about Don Juan. Now I am going to be a sorcerer for sure. Only my death could stop that." It is a ro mantic role...
...creativity. If Sunday's performance is indicative, the group certainly takes its name seriously. Beginning with a rich, solid rendition of the old Negro National Anthem ("Lift Every Voice and Sing") the group escorted the audience on an exciting, innovative two hour trip into black spirituality. The concert format touched on four themes central to the cultural corpus of the Afro-American experience: Spirituality, Love, Struggle, and Joy. Of the four, the least impressive was Struggle, perhaps because the theme lends itself less easily to a celebrative situation...
