...should economics and political philosophy be the only fields in which students may gain a basic grounding, and gain credit for it as such, without sacrificing an elective slot? In the social sciences, similar well-thought-out introductions to sociology, anthropology and psychology should join Soc Anal 10. The Humanities Core should incorporate existing surveys of fine arts, of various cultural histories and literatures, of Shakespeare, and of philosophy. The sciences should expand on a sensible modification recently made public, which allows upperclassmen to count certain introductory science courses, such as Physics 12 and Chem 5a for the Core--presumably...
...ambiguous note. The council refrained from rejecting the peace plan Reagan presented last September; that was considered a modest victory for P.L.O. Chairman Yasser Arafat. On the other hand, the council refused to endorse either the Reagan plan or an effort by King Hussein of Jordan to join future negotiations. Though many Palestinian moderates were encouraged by Arafat's strength at the meeting and by his ability to keep the organization united, the result was murky.

But after Labor suffered a demoralizing defeat in a by-election last December, the party decided to jettison Bill...
...years in jail for his dissident activities. After the Shah's fall, Ganje'i sided with what he calls the "progressive" Islam of the Mujahedin-e Khalq, a guerrilla organization that is now trying to overthrow the Tehran government. In early February he fled to Paris to join Mujahedin Leader Massoud Rajavi in exile. Excerpts from an interview with TIME Correspondent Raji Samghabadi...
...brass teardrop given to the most maudlin picture of the year. But then, Table for Five perhaps has an unfair advantage. It was written by David Seltzer, who did the script for Six Weeks, and it stars Jon Voight, who loves to cry and apparently wants everyone else to join him in a grand boohoo. He plays a divorced father who takes his three children, after years of neglecting them, on a Mediterranean cruise and, en route, learns that his ex-wife has been killed in a car crash. Director Robert Lieberman overlooks no cliche and lets no banality pass...
