Another prominent palimony target won a clear-cut victory last week. British Rock Star Peter Frampton, 28, had been sued by his onetime girlfriend Penny McCall, 30, for 50% of his earnings between 1973 and 1978, a half-interest in a 53-acre estate in Westchester County, N.Y., and a portion of his future income. But New York State Supreme Court Judge Joseph F. Gagliardi noted that the litigant had neglected to get divorced before moving in with Frampton. He threw the case out.

Secondly, in rejecting even basic courtesy, the students who spoke compromised their dignity, and hurt, rather than helped, their causes. Whether or not Bok's comments merited total attention is not the point. By continually interrupting him, and by denying Bok the opportunity to express himself, the students reduced...
Just like when TV networks pit recent movies against Monday Night Football, this effluence of jazz activity will force some hard and painful decisions. Close to home, Jonathan Swift's is hosting two events of particular interest this week. Sunday and Monday they will present Sun Ra and his Intergalactic Arkestra, a happening by any standard. Sun Ra is simply outrageous; his age and background are unclear, but he wanders around our planet saying things like: The intergalactic music in its present phase of presentation will be correlative to the key synopsis of the past and to the uncharted multipotential...
