...lack of coordination in the reform movement but feels it's unavoidable. "You don't change universities from the top," says Sizer. "The head is -- to mix a metaphor -- a sort of catalytic traffic cop, giving the nod to some things, stopping others. It's always sloppy and irregular movement on a lot of fronts." Also, for all their shouting last spring, MAT's have been less than hungry for opportunities to work in the field and intern in the ghettos (25 out of 150 interns is not overwhelming). C-2, the field work course, had room for 60 students...
Warm Walls. The diggers discovered a section of the ancient Vienne-Lyon highway consisting of irregular granite paving stones three feet thick interspersed with limestone blocks. Holes cut in the limestone enabled inspectors to keep an eye on the sewer system underneath. The Romans had also anticipated the roadside refreshment stand by building a bar at the edge of the road, complete with earthen vases in which beverages were kept cool. A chariot driver could pull up to the bar and drink standing up while his horses drank at an adjacent fountain...
Cross, a widower with four children, is a prominent professing Catholic. But he does not see rhythm as the only permissible method for many women. "If a woman has heavy or irregular periods, or painful periods, or sometimes has none, or if she has premenstrual tension or endometriosis, bleeding between periods, excessive hairiness or pimples [caused by an excess of androgenic hormones], or is excessively fat or is approaching the change of life, her doctor is morally justified in prescribing any treatment he likes.

Helping him project this engaging moodiness are John Gilmore's thin-edged tenor sax, Bobby Hutcherson's delicate vibes, the attentive probings of Bassist Richard Davis and the irregular cymbals of Drummer Joe Chambers. The group's finest moments come in The Groits, which, despite its ugly name, consists of lovely integrated weavings of Hill's almost Monkish chords, Hutcherson's melodic accents and Davis' bass designs...
COMBAT reporting is never a safe or simple job. But even for case-hardened veterans, the Nigerian civil war presents one of the meanest assignments yet. Merely getting in and out of Biafra is a dangerous and doubtful proposition. The irregular airlift from Lisbon flies through Nigerian antiaircraft fire to reach a makeshift airstrip that is only open at night. When correspondents finally manage to get in, they are shuttled off to quarters in the Progress Hotel in Aba, the country's provisional capital. When they are not in the field, they face the hazards of the Progress menu...
