...activities for Squibb since 1969. Some of his consulting tasks will doubtless portray him in a far better light than have the Mysteclin-F hearings, for he is widely known as a man with progressive views on medical issues. We also believe that Ebert ought to be less modest and disclose the amount of the retainer he has been receiving from Squibb...
Miraculously, Johnson projects tedium without inducing boredom. The melodies are modest but tuneful, nailed down with piano chords that sound like Verdian oompah that has absentmindedly dozed off. The words are straight satire. "There are three choruses in this opera," goes the opening chorus. "This is the first one. The second one will be almost like this one, but somewhat shorter. The third one will be almost like this one, but somewhat longer. But each of them is staged-differently...
...more than a fairly compromised law. It is sure to become once more an issue of contention between the President and Congress.

Since the Delaware team has no trouble meeting its modest yearly budget of $150,000, Athletic Director Dave Nelson discourages alumni contributors. "Let them give to the philosophy department," he says. Each year Delaware metes out a mere twelve football scholarships-less than half the 25 allowed by N.C.A.A. rules-and draws more than 95% of its players from within...
