Regardless of whether he was serious about the board scores idea. Bok will no doubt take pains, if necessary, to explain away his brainstorm and to convince those who count that he is not one to hold his nose in the air. The hullaballoo will die down and, with a few more public statements. Bok may find himself where he apparently set out to be at the forefront of a movement to maintain national support of colleges and graduate schools. Without much straining, it is possible to envision Bok turning a sticky situation to his advantage if things...
Another new weekly variety series, ABC's Music Scene, rattles with vibrations of Your Hit Parade, Hullaballoo and Laugh-In but bears a few promising new wrinkles. For one, the show does not commit itself to endless and eventually monotonous replays of the same top seven songs every week, as did Hit Parade.

Miller himself sought, and found, support from Harvard students. Even Boston merchants began to have some second thoughts--enough so that after a four week rest, the Banner was back in print...
...this "hullaballoo" over a weekly newspaper in one section of a city 'flooded with newspapers? Miller himself has some very strong convictions about what his paper is trying to do in Roxbury, and journalism is hardly his primary interest. He is a graduate of Harvard and Columbia Law School who never had anything to do with newspapers before. "I went to the library and read some books on publishing, and they seem to have been pretty helpful," he explains. He returned to Roxbury, where he was born, brought up, and is now well-known, not as a publisher...
