...month, he brought along his expertise as curator of the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art's American wing, and a patrician family's heritage. The Philadelphia Biddle clan's family seat-and James Biddle's boyhood home-is "Andalusia," the most celebrated example of Greek Revival architecture in the U.S. Off and flying, Biddle injected the national conscience into a battle over Hawaii's Diamond Head. Financier Chinn Ho's plan to develop apartments on the extinct volcano's seaward slope sparked an eruption of Hawaiian sentiment against the idea. Said Biddle...
Sprung from jail at Christmas but still living under total mouth arrest, Andreas Papandreou, 48, son of former Greek Premier George Papandreou and one of the most nettlesome critics of Greece's military junta, has decided to carry on elsewhere. Papandreou will return to the U.S., where he taught economics at Berkeley from 1955 to 1959, and will presumably accept one of the academic offers he has received from Northwestern, Brandeis and Berkeley.

After graduating from Swarthmore Phi Beta Kappa and summa cum laude in Greek, he came to Harvard in the fall of 1966 on a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship to major in modern English literature. Although still protected by his 2-S graduate deferment, Ferber decided then that his religious and non-violent beliefs had matured sufficiently for him to apply for a 1-O deferment as a conscientious objector. He started out strictly legally, "playing the game their way," but circumstances and his own morality soon compelled him to a position outside...
