Last week Aubrey returned to power. Las Vegas Financier Kirk Kerkorian, who a month ago won control of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, picked him to be the company's new president to replace Louis ("Bo") Polk Jr., 39, who was fired. Polk had been chosen only last January by Edgar M. Bronfman, whose 16% holding in the company was the largest until Kerkorian bought roughly a 40% share for about $100 million. (Time Inc. owns 5%.)

Now his holdings will rise to at least 32% and perhaps to as much as 45% of the company's shares, depending on how much...
...done with the students at Berkely just what Hitler tried to do with the Jews. He's made them the scapegoats for all the troubles in the state; he's turned all the people outside the university against them." By staying within Reagan's arena-or Hayakawa's or Kirk's or Pusey's-the students are spitting out their effort on the wrong targets: "as long as they stay inside the university arena, Reagan can be sure they won't spend any time asking what he's done about mental health or the desecration of the state...
