Most instructors did not find it necessary to provoke such a showdown. They made enough peace with the system to discover their Millicent Browns. And the sum of such personal encounters has apparently had an overall impact. For many colleges, a special summer program has become a permanent fixture. For others, summer contact with graduate students has spurred them to search actively for full year instructors from other parts of the country. Many of the summer instructors have stayed to teach for a year or more...
...frame of film began to roll through the camera. French intellectuals share a bizarre fixation for this particular crime; Genet, for example, based his play, The Maids, on it. As a result, Nico Papatakis, the director, may well have become too confident that every scene would have the emotional impact he intended. Unfortunately, they...
...persuade him to undergo a spinal fusion operation. He refused, and last summer he began competing again-shunning practice sessions as a pointless risk. To protect his spine from "jamming," he now lands flat on his back instead of on his feet, uses his elbows to soften the impact. How much longer he can keep on, Pennel does not know. One thing he does know: "I want that outdoor record back, and I'm going...
Ordinarily, a steering column is rigidly clamped at two points by collar-shaped steel brackets. In the G.M. design, the brackets are lined with plastic, which gives way on impact. Thus freed, the steering column collapses: one section of the column, made of steel mesh, crumples, while the gearshift tube and steering rod are telescoped, thereby shortening the column's length a total of 81 in. Presumably the auto companies will pass the added cost of the new safety features-about $15 for the column and $5 for the brakes-directly on to the customers...
This question of the Authority's impact is perhaps the single most sig- nificant factor for the future of the port. There were, of course, unavoidable external elements which greatly hampered the port's prosperity during this period. Completion of the St. Lawrence Seaway provided new competition. A long about with the International Longshoremen's Association was at last somewhat abated, if not resolved, with a new contract. Railroad problems in the '60's caused the Authority to become embroiled in the now-famous rail rate parity case, which had previously enabled Philadelphia, Norfolk, and Baltimore to receive more advantageous...
