...Isle of Wight is nothing but a sod runway. The one plane that Britten-Norman builds carries ten people in a fuselage that even its designers admit is "just an aluminum rack." It has a high, slablike wing and a top speed of only 168 m.p.h. Yet low and slow as it flies, the Britten-Norman (BN-2) Islander, as it is called, has proved to be a soaring success...
...this really going to be a western that tells it like it was? Will Penny starts out that way. The opening scenes of cowboys working in the Old West depict them as a sordid rabble of exploited riffraff with a uniformly low opinion of themselves. Is the film really going to show that Charlton Heston can act as well as perform? At the start, he is completely convincing as Cowboy Will Penny-illiterate, aging, and anything but bright. He doesn't even have a heart of gold; Gary Cooper would never have left a wounded pal to bleed...

MONDAY, APRIL 29 -- The "Majority Coalition" (read: jocks) has cordoned off Low and are trying to starve the demonstrators out. We decide to break the blockade.

We march around Low, making our presence known, and spontaneously and at the wrong tactical place the blacks we have in front jump into the jock line. I go charging through the gap with my box of grapefruit and quickly become upon...
...campaign has been at all times as low-keyed as it was effective. Students stressed over and over that they were driving not toward a confrontation with College officials but cooperation. The latest example of this approach is a letter to the class president, Diane Balter, stating that one hundred plus signers "have serious reservations" about contributing to the College, because they feel they would be "supporting certain policies which we found antithetical to our needs during our years at Radcliffe." The letter specifically refers to Radcliffe raising money to build a fourth House, and not for scholarships or subsidies...
