...more, because-due to the time differences across the continent-the Academy Awards now have to start at 7 p.m., in order to be seen on the East Coast by 10. Performed in broad daylight, the entrance ceremony has not much more glamour than a school fete-especially since most of the stars seemed to stay away this year, preferring to watch the rituals with coke spoon and TV set, at home. (Ray Bolger's dance around the steps of the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion was taped for TV two nights earlier.) The hordes of screaming fans were diminished...
...higher education has obvious pitfalls. "This whole business of trying to pick a major to match a job is just Russian roulette," says Harvard's Freeman. Today's "hot" fields-engineering or accounting, for example-could be glutted in a few years much as aerospace science, the glamour field of the early 1960s, fell fallow by the decade's end. Besides, asks Herbert Salinger, director of career planning at Berkeley: "Should we turn someone off to a field that really interests him" because job prospects are slim...

Nonetheless, a growing number of wealthy investors who seldom if ever come near a set or meet a star are pumping money into movie production, seeking not only glamour but write-offs that will reduce the taxes on their other income. Since 1973, a rising amount of tax-shelter money has been funneled into movie production by non-Holly-woodians who earn $125,000 to $200,000 a year-especially doctors. By some estimates, the flow could reach $1 billion in 1976. Tax-shelter money...
