...being taken seriously, but an underclass woman with a Southern accent is in real trouble. Many people consider her to be stupid, per se. The assumption is that she was admitted only to satisfy Radcliffe's desire for diversity and geographical distribution. Honeyed tones and high IQs don't mix...
...biggest change this year is in product mix. Cheaply operated small cars are expected to account for perhaps 45% of all 1974 models sold, v. 40% in the model year that just ended. Though automakers earn their richest profits on big cars, they are turning out all the small autos that they can, and even so may be unable to meet demand. General Motors is spending $300 million to increase production, most of it for its compacts, Nova and Omega, and its sub-compact Vega. Ford has started a $250 million construction program to boost output of its Pintos, Comets...
...made on his colleagues at Yale, where he taught for 21 years before retiring in June. They remember him as a scholar of grave old-world courtesy who developed a surprising facility as an amateur bartender (he is one of the few people left who knows how to mix a sidecar).

Each week in his office Bender plays through ten to 15 new albums and samples another 20 or 30.

"A critic should know how music is made and be well schooled in its fundamentals. Beyond that, he reacts...
Magic Power. Peking opera is at times a dizzying mix of dance, music, mime, processionals, tapestried tableaux and hilarious acrobatics. Banners are everywhere, signifying anything from magic power to the number of troops in a general's army. Nothing sums up these diverse elements better than the Taiwan company's version of The Monkey King, which tells the story of a cleric's disciple who drinks too much, fights too much, but does a lot of good and in the end becomes a Buddhist. Perhaps China's most popular legendary hero, the Monkey King...
