Alexander Zinoviev, a satirist of Soviet life, emigrated to Munich last month. The Supreme Soviet's action against him was the same as that taken this year against emigrees Maj. Gen. Pyotr Grigorenko and Mstislav Rostropovitch...

Administrators expect that when fully implemented the Core will contain about 80 to 100 courses, slightly less than in Gen Ed.

Yet a federal judge in New Jersey, refusing to release Farber and calling him "evil," ruled so intemperately that he didn't even get his facts straight. The Farber case seems to have this effect. He had "discovered" that Farber had a $75,000 advance...
