...SHOP ON MAIN STREET. This Czech drama hurls the question of universal guilt into a tranquil, Nazi-occupied Slovakian village in 1942. The case concerns a little Aryan nobody (Josef Króner) who is put in charge of the business, and the fate, of a shiningly innocent old Jewish shopkeeper (Ida Kamiska...
...Escape. The main point made by the opponents of the Administration during the hearings was that the U.S. is ignoring the Chinese, driving them into implacable enmity and toward inevitably more aggressive policies. Only one of them, however, felt that the U.S. should not be in Viet Nam at all and should let the Chinese reign in their own "sphere of influence."

...Chapel, where Popes are chosen and, upon death, rest in state.

One by one, the miles and minutes took their toll of Ford's main competitors: the two Chaparrals were both out of the race by the second hour, and the Ferrari 330 P3 retired to the pits on the 172nd lap with a frozen gearbox. Andretti's accident took care of the rest; he was running third behind two Fords at the time of the crash, and the Porsche was in fourth place. The finish was a parade-Ford, Ford...
...university that half of its 41,000 enrollment now comes from outside of the city, nearly 10,000 from outside of the state. Determined to make N.Y.U. "a resident university rather than a commuter university," Hester now has 1,600 staff members and 5,000 students living near the main campus in Greenwich Village. For additional faculty and student residences, two towering apartment buildings by Architect I. M. Pei are nearly finished (a third will be a commercial co-op). N.Y.U. is more than halfway through a $100 million fund drive, has hired Architects Philip Johnson and Richard Foster...
