...principal "battlers for control of the Undergraduate Council," Melissa Lane and Brian Offut. I met both of them as freshmen, when they were candidates and I was director of elections. I have known and admired them both ever since. Brian and Melissa are both special friends, and I am glad that the Undergraduate Council has such an excellent choice of leadership. When this election is over, the student government will once again join ranks behind our elected leader, and return to the work for which the council was created: "to seek an active role in the establishment of University policies...
...blessing. In his Manhattan everyone has his reasons, and almost everyone deserves a happy ending. Dear, dour Mickey gets blessed best, with a wry miracle of regeneration. The barrenness of despair gives way to a hope for continuation of the species. For most American directors--glad-handers and show- boaters--that resolution might seem tentative at best. But for Woody Allen, who finds grim death gargling all around him, isn't it romantic...
...appears the U.S. will not go to war and I am glad. We still have some peaceful options left such as the economic sanctions President Reagan recently imposed. But as he cut all economic ties with that nation, diplomatic responses to Libya's aggression may no longer exist.

...Mallory says he wants to ditch Eileen, and I believe he means it. If he really wants to provide a new mother for Michael and if that makes for a solid loving family, I'll be glad to see it happen. Eileen certainly isn't easy to get to. I make appointments with her at the center, but she rarely shows up. She has complications of her own, and I wish we could begin to see how they impinge on her relationship with both Mallory and Michael. We call this the Center for Family Life because we believe in families...
...this point, the show plunges off into the badlands of promotion. It contains things one is glad to see--the antic, sardonic imagination of Sigmar Polke, for instance, which has been reprocessed by squads of younger artists from David Salle to Jiri Dokoupil; or the blunt, strong images of Eugen Schonebeck, who abruptly gave up painting at the age of 30, in 1966. There is also a powerful group of sculptures by Beuys. But the artists who get the most play are those industrial-scale bores of the international art market, Baselitz, with his upside-down figures, and A.R. Penck...
