...could forgive the obvious bullshit involved if the presence of Clarke--and his Return to Forever colleague, Chick Corea--had somehow managed to make this album worth listening to. But they are no more than sidemen on LifeTimes. Diana Hubbard, on her first album, runs the show, playing piano, (Corea isrelegated to the synthesizer on the one cut he graces) and writing all the music. But unfortunately Hubbard lacks emotion, technique; in fact, she lacks any creative vision beyond a vague desire to "contribute to a renaissance in romanticism...
Though the Ayatullah Khomeini's precise role in the embassy affair was not known, it was obvious that the student occupiers looked to him for leadership. Because Khomeini demanded that the British government surrender the Shah's last Prime Minister, Shahpour Bakhtiar, the students on Monday evening briefly occupied the British embassy in Tehran. They left after only six hours, presumably because they had learned what their Imam had not: that Bakhtiar is in exile not in Britain but in France, which also gave asylum to Khomeini before his triumphal return to Iran in February...
With so many lives in danger, an obvious first step was to adopt a policy of coolness and flexibility.

Joel Carlson, assistant agent at the Boston bureau, says the FBI never comments on documents released under the Freedom of Information Act. According to the Boston bureau's files, their SAC man back then was J.J. Kelly, but Carlson says they have no record of his whereabouts and declared him "either retired or deceased...
...ever run as well as David Sullivan, who appealed in large part to the new voters--students and tenants in particular. Sullivan waged a traditional campaign--pressing the flesh, ringing the doorbells--and he built up a large network of volunteers independent of the CCA. The trend is obvious down the line. Francis Duehay'55, who also ran a high-budget, high-profile campaign, finished stronger than ever before in his re-election bid, only a few hundred votes behind Sullivan. And the candidate who relied most on old-line liberal CCA connections, Mary Ellen Preusser, finished last, losing badly...
