...raided Chicago's satirical Second City troupe to bring Belushi to New York for the 1973 revue National Lampoon's Lemmings.

For Saturday Night Live, TV Producer Lome Michaels hired away half the cast of Lemmings' sequel, The National Lampoon Show.

This week Carr becomes a research fellow at Harvard's Center for International Affairs, and in the next academic year a visiting lecturer at Harvard Divinity School. His interim replacement: Egyptian Coptic Layman Sarwat G. Shehata, 39, a quiet management expert...
There was an uglier factor. In 1976 complaints of sexual indiscretions by an unnamed "Christian leader" reached the floor of Kenya's Parliament.
