Derek Bok, who is no relation to Joan Bok, and his cadre of vice presidents guard power so jealously that they not only exclude students from University decision-making but also seek to put a stranglehold on review boards that are no more menacing than luncheon clubs...
...Gannett for the past 13 years, took the podium in Washington and said in a trembling voice, "I want to introduce Gannett's new boss." President John Curley, 47, would be taking over that day as chief executive officer, Neuharth explained. The announcement caught some seasoned Gannett watchers off guard. Still, it will probably not signal a complete change in corporate leadership. Neuharth, 62, will retain his title of chairman, and promised to be "very active" in that role, supervising long- term corporate strategy and acquisitions. Said Neuharth: "I love this company.

...just a tyke in Clarksburg, W. Va., back then. The Navy didn't claim him until 1959, four years after Mighty Mo was mothballed in Bremerton, Wash.

The gray manager of the Angels, Gene Mauch, 60, says, "Joyner has a graceful way about him, at bat, on the field and in the clubhouse...
Geese toting M-16s? Well, not quite, but after a successful trial run, gaggles of geese will soon begin guard duty at American military installations in West Germany. Eventually, 900 of the squawking waterfowl, in platoons of six to 40, will take up posts at 30 sites run by the U.S. Army's 32nd Air Defense Command. The idea is not as ludicrous as it may seem. With their acute sense of hearing, geese when startled sound the alarm by hissing, honking loudly and flapping their wings. Indeed, the ancient Romans used geese as guards. The web-footed sentinels...
