...Israel last week in the wake of a controversy over a new book that was banned by the military censor on orders from Premier Yitzhak Rabin. Rabin not only ordered suppression of the book, which was written by Newsman Matti Golan, 38, but also the seizure of all five manuscript copies known to exist. Rabin's explanation was that publication of the book would be disastrous for Israeli-American relations, would threaten the flow of American arms to Israel and might even force Kissinger's resignation...
...trivializes every major scene in the play. When she feeds the manuscript of Eilert's book to the flames, Ibsen has her say, "I am burning your baby."

Once a visiting professor for the Norton Chair of Poetry has been chosen, his appointment lasts one year and he must give six lectures "not previously printed or delivered in public." The lecturer must turn over his manuscript to Harvard for publication, usually by Harvard University Press. But in the past, not all the lecturers have handed in their manuscripts. Robert Frost's manuscript for his 1936 Norton lectures. "The Renewal of Words," can't be found in the Harvard archives, and apparently he never turned one in, probably because most of his lectures were extemporaneous in his second lecture...
