...scholars, University of Arizona professor Stanley Lieberson--has already turned Harvard down, but the other three are still considering the offers--extended in the late spring. The professors are Aage B. Sorenson and Robert M. Hauser, both of the University of Wisconsin, and Stanford University professor John Meyer...
...there. Instead, he is drawn to legends and nightmares. In Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1973), a Spanish officer of the 16th century dreams of conquering South America and ends up alone on a raft, blithe and demented, lording it over some monkeys. In The Mystery of Kaspar Hauser (1975), a young man appears in a Nuremberg square in the 1820s, with no recollection of his past; the townspeople attempt to "civilize" Kaspar, treating him as their pet, their lab rat, their ignorant savior. In Heart of Glass (1976), a mountaintop savant predicts the fall of a small village...
Fewer students are going on to academic graduate programs. Susan Hauser, associate director of career planning at Yale, notes, "It's so expensive to go to graduate school that fewer people see it as a natural progression in their lives."

Indeed...
...essentials, however, family and friends say that the movie is honest. "It's an excellent dramatization of my book," declares Hauser. "It is true in spirit, but not precisely accurate in each and every detail." The elder Horman, who has spent the past eight years building up his case, brought suit against eleven Government officials in 1977, claiming, among other things, negligence and wrongful death. Most counts were dismissed on procedural grounds. Horman withdrew the rest since he was unable to get some classified documents that he believed would be conclusive. "They're desperate," he says...
