Stanley Cavell, Cabot Professor of Aesthetics and the General Theory of Value; Edward L. Keenan, professor of History and dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences; and Richard Sieburth, assistant professor of French and Comparative Literature, spoke as part of a four-week series on teaching techniques, sponsored by the Harvard-Danforth Center for Teaching and Learning...
Woman of the Year, now in a four-week pre-Broadway tryout, proves doubly disappointing because it not only fails to capitalize on the allure and talent of Bacall but because it does not exploit successfully an old story that might well have been updated. Based on the 1942 MGM movie of the same name, which starred Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, the musical version keeps the story line almost intact, with the perhaps inevitable change of the lead form a newspaper woman to a television anchor. She, Tess Harding, first insults, then falls in love with a cartoonist...
Training of S.A.S. recruits-all volunteers from other British army regiments-is exceedingly rigorous. The initial four-week selection course has a 90% failure rate. For starters, recruits are sent crawling through noxious sheep-dips and marching over mountainous terrain in Wales carrying 55-lb. backpacks on a 37%-mile, 20-hr, trek. In one ten-day exercise, half-naked recruits are set down at the mouth of a Welsh valley, harried by deafening sirens and an infantry force firing real bullets. Those who pass these tests are then taught such skills as demolition, lock picking, sabotage, unarmed combat, mountaineering...
...Westerners have been allowed to visit Cambodia since the Vietnamese occupation. Last month, however, French Photojournalist Jean-Claude Labbe was permitted to make an unprecedented four-week tour of the country. Traveling by motorcycle and by car, without escort except for a 20-mile stretch near the Thai border, Labbe first rode from Sai- Saigon to Phnom-Penh, where he shot pictures of the devastated Cambodian capital beginning to stir to life again amid the rubble of war. He then drove along Cambodia's main arteries, Highways 5 and 6, visiting twelve provinces in a journey that totaled...
...After studying a lymph node removed shortly after his arrival at the hospital, they announced that the cancer centered in the Shah's neck had grown. They recommended that the monarch, who has not sufficiently recovered from the removal of his gall bladder to undergo chemotherapy, begin a four-week course of X-ray treatments. With this and other therapy, the Shah's prospects are encouraging; unless they are killed by the chemotherapy, which involves doses of potentially toxic drugs, many lymphoma victims survive up to ten years after diagnosis...
