...trying to promote the scandal, and it has not become a campaign issue. Cambridge Councilor Walter J. Sullivan, a long-time Vellucci ally who has now turned against the mayor, urging voters not to vote for Vellucci for any of the spots on the City Council, sums up the mood best. "That's a personal thing with Al. There's no sense in making a big thing out of it. I wouldn't do that to a guy when he's down--that's not my type of business," he says. Needless to say, it is also not good politics...
...years the people in charge here have wavered between the two stratagems of integrating the freshmen into the University around them, or giving them a separate but equal existence. The new mood in University Hall clearly favors the second choice. Freshmen now enjoy (or don't enjoy) their own seminars, their own living area, their own dining hall, their own parties, their own intramurals, their own squads in inter-collegate sports--including their own crew shells--and their own literary magazine.

In an age when one is accustomed to an artist's regular reappraisal and redirection of his own work, this continuity is rather a surprise.

Returning from the garden party which was Eliza's trial by fire, Higgins and his companion Colonel Pickering are filled with the nervous energy of expectation instead of the self-satisfied exhaustion they should be feeling after the successful ordeal they shared. But ironically even this weakness ends up working in favor of the production. This Pygmalion links its audience to the lack of connection between the classes in this age. It is as though, instead of having tried to make real contact with the poor, the actors, like the middle class philanthropists they...
...Administration leaders are worried almost as much about the mood of business as businessmen are worried about them. Says Treasury Secretary W. Michael Blumenthal: "We confront a troubling paradox: on the one hand, good economic recovery in 1977 and reasonably good prospects for 1978; and on the other, the lowest level of business confidence in a long time...
