...outset a sleazy young dope dealer vainly attempts to hire Investigator Michael Brennen to locate blue-eyed Dani, his missing girlfriend and meal ticket. Brennen has just about decided to retire from the shamus game. However, when the dealer shows up mysteriously dead, the down-at-heels p.i. takes on the posthumous assignment. Dani, it develops, belongs to a wealthy Faulknerian family held together by booze, barbiturates, bitterness, incest and greed. Brennen finally finds the girl (also mysteriously dead) and discovers that the family business is being run by a homosexual Chinatown lawyer and his epicene "nephew." The nephew...
...tenure track position at another university. "If one had a viable offer elsewhere, it would be foolish to come here," Dale says, adding, "Other universities of lesser stature can lure the best professors away, because they can say what no responsible person at Harvard can say--'we could hire you.'" Other professors disagree with Dale's prophesy, believing that Harvard's prestige and research facilities will continue to draw the finest talent, but all agree the dim tenure future will force candidates to make a much tougher evaluation of the risks and benefits of accepting an assistant professorship at Harvard...
Donald suggests one solution, admittedly an idealistic proposal.

"Junior faculty ought to be treated very well and made socially and intellectually a part of the community. The prestige of Harvard will...
...target for the ax is the $12 billion that the Government provides to states and cities under the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act so that they can hire the unemployed for public service jobs. The CETA program has been roundly criticized for putting workers into jobs that provide no useful training for employment in the private economy. None theless, CETA cuts would anger blacks, who regard the program as of potential benefit to ghetto youths, and organized labor, which already is very unhappy with Carter. Last week AFL-CIO President George Meany denounced the Stage II wage-price guidelines...
Soon after dawn, cleaning women used to stand in a row on Burnside Avenue in The Bronx, waiting for well-heeled Manhattan matrons to drive up and hire them for a day's work. "Often they'd ask to see your knees," recalls Geraldine Miller of those lineups in the '30s. "The women with the worst scarred knees were hired first because they looked like they worked the hardest." Their pay for an eight-hour day: 30? to 40?. Today their pay may be as much as $40 a day, and it is the employers who queue...
