More ominously, the situation may strain an already uneasy truce between Baghdad and the dissident Kurds of the north, who claim ownership of the Kirkuk oilfield, which has been shut down ever since it was nationalized. "If there is to be a stoppage of national development, you can be sure the Kurds will be the first to feel it," said Dara Towfik, editor of the Baghdad-based Kurdish paper Al Ta'Khee, last week. Besides complaining that they have been shortchanged on development funds, Kurds feel that Baghdad has cheated on the terms of their truce. Kurd Leader Mustafa...
Cambridge's three other theatres--the Brattle, the Harvard Square, and the Central--are all under the same ownership. All of them show good films. The Central has two theatres in one building--one of them has been featuring only one double-show for 73 weeks now. The two films are Phillipe De Broca's "King of Hearts" and "Give Her the Moon."

Some banks and mutual funds in the U.S. and Europe had bought Rank stock for the Xerox profits and feared a dilution in earnings if the company acquired Watney's. These big investors forced Rank to withdraw...
...hard to assess what positive effects the new station, WCVB, and the new ownership, BBI, will have on the television media, or, for that matter, in taking up the informational gap that will no doubt be left by the departure of the Herald-Traveler. Reviews in the Boston Globe and the Phoenix of the new station and its "innovative" programming were mixed. But Robert G. Gardner '48, lecturer on Visual Studies and a member of BBI's board of directors, says that many changes are still in planning, which limits the accuracy of Boston reviews. "The first two months have...
