...biggest mistake many of Dunlop's adversaries made was not to take him seriously. He took over a splintered Faculty in 1970 and in the next several years skillfully knit the deeply-rooted divisions back together, sending independent-minded reformers either into disarray or scurrying for the center. By the end of his term, he had elicited a measure of respect from all segments of a Faculty that had deeply distrusted his predecessor, Franklin L. Ford. He restored a certain reverence for his office that had been absent for some time. Even his opponents on the Faculty capitulated...
...Upjohn family of Kalamazoo, Mich., a close-knit and closemouthed clan, made an estimated $283 million last year, from a rise in its holdings in drug-producing Upjohn Co. to $659 million.

Below the Salt (Chrysalis) was a major breakthrough for Steeleye Span one of the few British folk groups to successfully infuse new excitement into traditional madrigals with stirring musical arrangements and tightly knit choral work. Their lead singer. Maddy Prior, has a supremely clear and expressive voice...
...over the crowd as the public-address announcer booms, "And now . . . heeerrre's Lefty!" Pandemonium again breaks loose, the band strikes up Hail to the Chief and out shuffles Charles Grice ("Lefty") Driesell, the loose, lanky (6ft. 4-in.) Maryland basketball coach. He is wearing a $250 double-knit suit and the "aw-shucks" grin of a plowboy at a tea dance, and when he casually flashes the awaited V-for-victory sign, the cheers resound all the louder. Lefty and his legions are ready for another game in their drive to become the nation...
