...apartment interiors are strikingly modern in design, and sport natural-wood surfaces, tasteful wallpaper and extra-long beds. Each suite has its own kitchen, balcony and bath. Compared with Montreal, where as many as eleven athletes were crammed into a single apartment, the Moscow facility should be a paradigm of comfort. Security measures should be less obtrusive too. There will be two circles of fencing, and gates will be closely monitored, but armed soldiers will not be perched on balconies as they were...
Save for these disclosures. To Set the Record Straight adds little to history, and the jaded onlooker may be inclined to agree with Novelist Arnold Bennett that "the price of justice is eternal publicity." Still, the man justifies the autobiography. For in its pages, Sirica, 75, provides an ironic paradigm. The obscure childhood, the wayward parent, the indomitable will, the tense trials and, at last, the public recognition: we have been here before.

Predictably, private colleges are trying to beef up endowments and other non-tuition income. For many, the paradigm is Stanford, which in 1977 completed a five-year campaign that raised $304 million-then a record for private institutions. Almost all of the larger schools seem to be planning or conducting the biggest fund drives in their history. Harvard College plans to launch a campaign this summer whose goal is likely to be at least $200 million and which will be coordinated by 100 paid staffers. The half-dozen most ambitious drives currently under way (see box) are seeking a combined...
...their country. In the film's first hour, set at home, Cimino presents his buddies sympathetically as average men with traditional values: their lives are defined by work, family, church and a love of sport. What happens subsequently to Michael and Nick in Viet Nam is a paradigm of what happened...
