...fact, the pressure may already be starting to build. The NCAA recently reduced the amount of scholarship money that each Division I school can award by 40 per cent--a move that will make other Ivy League schools that much more competitive for the truly "blue-chip" athletes. With rivals stepping up their recruiting, and with the "Harvard mystique" inevitably fading as the school drifts further away from the Roosevelt-Cabot era, Harvard may decide it has to change its admissions process...
...there, scrambling out of the Winnebago and hitting the ground in full gallop, is the candidate himself. So fast does he move that he is inside the store before the storekeeper can stir, blinking in the dimness and striding toward the storekeeper with his hand out, and the storekeeper is shaking his hand as he thinks yes, he is like his pictures, a squat, fat, funny owl of a man, straight black hair combed back from a ruler-edge part, Coke-bottle glasses betting the tiny eyes, the wide, grinning mouth jutting teeth above the weak chin...
Transformed by Dignity. On the bare cypress-wood stage of the Nō theater, the actor's robe is both costume and set. Its stiff, voluminous folds, bulked out with padding and under-robes, suggest architecture. The actors move slowly-Nō acting is more remarkable for stateliness than agility -and the audience has time to inspect the details of a costume.

Heublein (1976 beverage sales: $858 million) has become a leader in what the company describes as "the move toward light and flavorful drinks." Two years ago, Heublein introduced Hereford's Cows, a line of ready-mixed drinks made from neutral spirits and a nondairy-based milk simulant that is sold in seven vividly colored flavors. The mild-mannered, 30-proof Cows were an instant hit among such relatively "dry" groups as women, kids and elderly people. Some liquor men, though, have their doubts about the staying power of these milkshakes-with-a-kick. Says Vice President Paul Shuman...
Further, Smith is misleading when he writes "In only one instance out of 47 did Harvard totally break with the ACSR." In many instances, when ACSR did take a socially active position in support of a resolution, Harvard then abstained at the stockholders meeting, a move Smith considers a "half-way" disagreement with the advisory committee's recommendation. Financial experts from Federal Street to Wall Street generally agree that the difference between abstaining and voting against a shareholder resolution at a stockholders' meeting is largely a cosmetic one. In the counting of shareholder votes, all that matters is the percentage...
