...secret valley of the Tasaday. High on a cliff, in a cave about 50 ft. wide and 30 ft. deep, small groups sat talking by several fires. Children climbed a smooth rock and laughed as they slid down. One boy flew a pet butterfly on a string, like a kite. The floor of the cavern was regularly swept with branches, but no improvements had been made...
...supposed to feature Franklin's "contributions to Harvard." It does seem interesting that the man who wrote that blasphemous little ditty "Early to bed, Early to rise, etc." should be honored at the one major university which offers no 8 a.m. classes. The key from the famous kite experiment isn't there, either. The Fogg has new hours these days--it opens at 9 now instead of 10 (more the influence of the unions than Franklin, though...
...deficit for fiscal 1976 does soar above $70 billion or so-a concern given far more substance by President Ford's signing of the tax cut and Treasury Secretary William Simon's lugubrious talk.

Ch. 10, 8:30 p.m. 2 1/2 hours...

That vast, wrinkled plane of sea fringed by blue pudding-stone bluffs is so much stronger than some of the works perched above it that objects like George Sugarman's 18-ft. Kite Castle, 1974, Alexander Calder's stabile or Robert Murray's pleated steel Windhover, 1969, become mere origami. They are gallery art, or at most museum-plaza art, scaled up and deprived of context...
