...statement of the Trustees shows us that this Ad Hoc Committee is talking in a vacuum. The Trustees called for a temporary halt in gym construction as a favor to the mayor, not in response to the needs of the community. I.D.A. is not mentioned at all. The faculty has made no attempt to demand the power to negotiate, or the power to control the police. This indicates that they fail to recognize what is clear to everyone else: the Administration has been thoroughly discredited. At the same time that the Faculty has been claiming they were "mediating" in good...
...Stokes proved so deft and engaging in his first taping session that the segments will now be expanded from three to five minutes and go into rerun throughout the week. "He's so good it's unbelievable," says WKBF General Manager Jay Berkson. The telegenic mayor had turned down earlier requests to do regular evening shows like those of New York City's John Lindsay or Los Angeles' Sam Yorty.

Before visitors are done, they will be expected to stoop, sidle and squirm through and around painted plywood installations representing the Loop's elevated trains and a mock "Historic Arch" decorated with a shimmying Little Egypt and Skyscraper Pioneers Louis Sullivan and Dankmar...
...injuries suffered in a fall; in Dijon. Tough-minded and sharp-tongued, Kir (rhymes with hear) took over the mayoralty of Dijon (pop. 96,000) in 1940, when city officials fled the Germans, and led the local resistance throughout the war. Dijon's citizens voted him in as mayor in every election from 1945 to the present, and though he often proved a thorn both to his church (he once called Khrushchev "a crusader for peace") and government (De Gaulle, he said, was a "big boob"), he never failed to delight his followers-as when he squelched a heckler...
