...decided to close the eight Houses in the mornings for all but a Sunday-style continental meal, he assigned to Ann B. Spence, assistant dean of the College, the lonely task of picking out the four Houses. Spence drew "spheres of proximity" around four groups of three Houses, forming clusters of Houses like defense positions on a military map, with radii small enough so that no student would have to trudge more than an "acceptable" distance to breakfast. Spence in turn presented her "spheres of proximity" to Frank J. Weissbecker, director of Food Services, who picked a House form each...
...powers that be in Washington and Wall Street. The opening of former Columbia President Grayson Kirk's files in 1968 confirmed this. The products of the university all suggest anything but a broad faculty orientation. There is no shortage of professors who support Kissinger's general position; indeed, they form the overwhelming preponderance of professors. Many of them work closely with the government. The university, being tied so closely by money, direction and participation, not surprisingly reflects the basic power relationships of the larger society.

...With help from Comedian Tim Conway, a few famous jocks, some dancing poodles and "$12,500 worth of extras," Chase takes puckish potshots at TV sports coverage, presidential press conferences, variety and game shows and, of course, advertising.

"Oh oh, Edna, you've been stung!" says Host Chevy cheerily. "It's a spinal...
...Carter energy program is so comprehensive that it will affect just about every industry and form of enterprise in the country-many in ways that cannot be assessed accurately until Congress finishes with the package. But already executives and investors are sizing up which industries and companies will be most helped or hurt. The potential losers-some oil producers, automakers and utilities among them-are openly annoyed. The prospective winners, a diverse group including some industries that have drawn little investment attention, are loath to crow about benefiting from a plan that the President presented in terms of stern sacrifice...
