After teaching a course called "Intercollegiate Athletics and Education: A Socio-Psychological Evaluation" at the University of California at Berkeley last year, he founded his nonprofit institute to hold seminars, publish a newsletter and "help interpret what's going on in sport and make it what it can and should be." His new book, called The Athletic Revolution (Free Press; $3.45), is long on rhetoric and short on solutions, but its compilation of articles, speeches...

Between stints with the Festival, he helped organize the repertory company of the Phoenix Theatre in New York-and launched repertory theatres in both Scattle and New Orleans.

The plan, which was developed by the Metropolitan Fund of Detroit, a nonprofit research corporation in Southeast Michigan working with a $100,000 appropriation, envisions the pairing off of nine redeveloped inner-city areas with ten undeveloped suburban locations. Though each pair of sites would be geographically separate, from 20 to 40 miles apart, they would exist as political, social and economic entities. The pairs...
Ambitious Task. The 14-month study, financed by a $200,000 grant from the Ford Foundation, was conducted by the nonpartisan, nonprofit Citizens Conference on State Legislatures. From its Kansas City base, the group has been working for legislative reform since 1965, but it had never before undertaken the ambitious task of examining all 50 legislatures, then ranking each in descending order of quality...
