...SOVIET JEWS. There is no Jewish problem, no Jewish question here ... Some of my closest friends from school days onward have been Jews...
...whole thing" was an attempt by John R. Coleman, 51, a former Ford Foundation executive and now president of Haverford College, to break what he calls "the lockstep"-the educational process that leads in a straight line from kindergarten through graduate school, and often onward into the walled-in offices of academia. Coleman is a labor economist (among his books is Labor Problems, 1953), but the idea of actually going out and doing physical labor first occurred to him three years ago when he heard about the clash between hardhat construction workers and antiwar student demonstrators on Wall Street.

...Kodachrome" is Simon's fling at whimsy, and "American Tune" his cliche. His use of The Onward Brass Band on "Take Me to the Mardi Gras" is a piece of self-indulgent authenticity which is barely necessary.

The spring exhibition at Manhattan's Asia House is "A Flower from Every Meadow," a selection of 86 Indian paintings ranging in date from about 1520 to 1900. Chosen and elegantly catalogued by Art Historian Stuart Carey Welch, the 86 miniatures from American...
...timid-or independent-souls who are still wondering whether to buy those "new" '40s-inspired clunky platform shoes, the question may soon be irrelevant. With its usual fickleness, fashion is already whizzing on. "Down from those three-inch platforms," say the heralds of chic, "and onward to something older!" For many designers and their customers, the In echo is of the '20 -not so much the roaring of the jazz babies in speakeasies as the tinkling of cocktail glasses on Long Island lawns and the rustle of silk against chiffon...
