...even that paltry accomplishment proved short-lived as the Big Red's line of Doug Berk, John Olds and Brian Marrett soon combined for two goals in nine seconds. First Olds and Berk set up Marrett, then Marrett and Olds set up Berk. Rob Gemmell (shorthanded), Tom Whitehead and Jim Gibson, aided by weak defensive play around the Harvard net and unsteady goaltending by Hynes, all scored before the period, mercifully, came...
There was more to Waller's music than the swoony "Honeysuckle Rose," his most famous song. Many of the numbers furnish a disturbingly candid view of Harlem life. The eerie "Viper" describes a marijuana dream, in which the singer imagines "a reefer--ten feet long." And every line in the poignant "Black and Blue" furnishes a clear statement of what being black meant in America then, and sadly enough, now--making a brilliant double-entendre out of the word "black...

In the background we hear Lydon variously maundering belching, and playing with a fire extinguisher, for almost eight minutes. One manifest fault of these tracks...
...began to introduce a QWL program. In its essence, this means that workers are, in fact, participating in the decision-making process. There are very many ways in which to do this, and it must emanate from the bottom up; its got to come from the workers and the line foremen rather than being imposed from the top down. At GM for instance, there is no program, in fact, which has been brought into being by reason of the national office of GM and the national office of the union saying, 'here's how you're going...
