...Abbey ended in 1924 when the then dean, Dr. Herbert E. Ryle, snorted that "his openly dissolute life and licentious verse earned him a worldwide reputation for immorality." Yet in today's easygoing society, George Gordon Lord Byron seems less of a satyr than a swinger; so a group of Byron buffs led by Derek Parker, editor of the Poetry Review, and Poet Laureate Cecil Day-Lewis have petitioned that he receive his proper niche in the abbey's Poets' Corner. Their word was good enough for the Very Rev. Eric Abbott, present Dean of Westminster...
...Trustee. Sealed off to all but those bearing university identification cards, the Columbia campus had an almost festive air. Leaflets dealing with strike issues flooded the campus, and loudspeakers blared out impassioned oratory. A rock band entertained students with well-amplified sounds, and at one point a pro-rebel group staged a mock funeral procession. A group called the Pageant Players acted out skits lampooning the administration, and played a game of their own invention called "Trustee" on what resembled an outsize Monopoly board...
...Francisco's Jazz Workshop in 1960. Wes has learned to improvise, to say the least. But only now, at 37, has he finally budged from In dianapolis in order to join his brothers Monk and Buddy in a group called the Mastersounds. His playing, though bristling with authority, is unorthodox: he plucks the strings with his thumb in stead of his fingers or a plectrum, giving a rounded, intense tone, and he phrases in short, jabbing bursts instead of the looping legatos of most post-Christian guitarists.

...reporter, Frank Palmos, 28, a freelance Australian journalist, escaped to tell the story. The group had been riding in a jeep around Saigon when they noticed a column of smoke rising above the Cholon section. Heading for the smoke, they soon found themselves moving through a stream of refugees fleeing the Viet Cong. Some tried to warn them with shouts of "V.C.! V.C.!", but they kept going until they arrived at an empty intersection-and then it was too late. Cantwell, who was driving, tried to put the jeep in reverse. Before he could, two Viet Cong opened fire. Palmos...
Knight has never fancied himself a domineering press lord. Preferring to call his papers a group, not a chain, he encourages local autonomy, and his papers make the most of it. The Detroit Free Press (circ. 605,000), the Miami Herald (369,600), the Charlotte Observer (177,950), the Akron Beacon Journal (178,147), the Charlotte News (63,772) and the Tallahassee Democrat (29,300) are all increasing their circulation and are highly profitable. With interests in one television and three radio stations as well as three Florida weeklies, the group's total revenues reached $123 million...
