...still a hopeless flailing to think on it: Rice is dead and gone. I try to look at the bright side. For one, now in a possible World Series Cecil Cooper can start with Dwight Evans preserved at right field. Cooper on first and Yaz at left--no more problem of dumping the designated hitter. But (sigh) manager Darrell Johnson will probably start Carbo or something... And, uh, Rice wasn't hitting so well in the past week anyway--chopping his swing and neutralizing his power. Hah. It's very depressing. And you have to feel most sorry, ruthless...
Although the degree of optimism varies from department to department, most department chairmen and placement directors term the situation gloomy but not hopeless. "Our graduates seem to be continuing to get positions," says Paul C. Martin, former chairman of the Physics Department, one of the most affected among the sciences. "But typically the choices of academic positions available include some that are less desirable than corresponding students would have ended up with in Sputnik times." And although statistics compiled by Donna G. Martyn, director of placement for the GSAS, indicate that as of November 1974 over a quarter...
...require four volumes of explanation. What does fully justify Scott's endless, repetitive probing is the struggle of the British community to avoid acknowledging the truth and the dubious morality of its presence as ruler of India.

The responsibility belongs to USC Film School hot-shot John Millus, who, along with Robert Towns (shampoo, The Last Detail) is Hollywood's favorite litte scriptwriter This film he directs as well, but his skills in the department may be quickly dismissed as amateurish--a hopeless waste of a very large budget, lots of locations and extras, etc. But his scriptwriter is something to be reckoned with--he has made quite a lot of money for pictures like Dirty Harry, Dillinger, Jeremiah Johnson, Judge Roy Bean. And it's terrifying to know that people responded...
...this, and the Maine lobstermen who listen to the radio on their boats thought that that summer might be different. El Tiante was brilliant on the mound--the team was seven games in front on August 23. The nosedive came--a total collapse, and the fishermen cussed them as hopeless idiots (they'd always known it) and netted all those frustrations, just to haul them back into the sea of their passion for the 1975 season, when most is forgotten and the boys are a bunch of heros again. That Freddy Lynn, by god, he's a natural--haven...
