Among other recent freelance porn offerings, Rome's station PTS (for People Television Service) put on a special called Nude on Parallel Bars, featuring a nearly naked girl giving a passable imitation of Olympic Star Nadia Comaneci. Telefantasy currently stars a 23-year-old student whose job is to writhe suggestively on a bed in a baby doll nightie while listening to a male voice on the radio reading excerpts from sex novels...
Zampano's solution is not without parallel. In 1976 Allied Chemical was fined $13.2 million for polluting the James River; after the sum was reduced to $5 million by the federal judge who assessed the fine, the company contributed $8 million to set up the Virginia Environmental Endowment. But the Olin case raises some questions about the proper exercise of judicial discretion. Had the judge merely fined Olin for violating the anti-apartheid arms ban, the $510,000 would have wound up in the federal treasury. Do the people of New Haven have any more right to the money...
...what seems to be a strange parallel to the 1972 events, this year's demonstrations and interest in South Africa prompted Bok to send one of his current assistants to investigate South Africa firsthand. Lawrence F. Stevens '65, secretary of the ACSR, traveled for three weeks n South Africa and will report his findings to the Corporation's investment subcommittee, which was set up simultaneously with the ACSR and which makes final investment decisions with the advice of the ACSR. In 1972 students were calling for divestiture of stock in Gulf because it and other U.S. corporations were helping...
...nature abhors a vacuum, as is said, it does not always do so in a predictable way. Consider Korea's Demilitarized Zone, which stretches for 151 miles near the 38th parallel, between North and South Korea. For a quarter-century, two armed adversaries have sullenly, sometimes violently, confronted each other across its 2.5-mile width. The sights of innumerable guns sweep it constantly. Observation planes patrol along it daily. But human beings never stay there for long. And because it is so totally a no man's land, the DMZ is not abhorred by nature...
...rest of the world to us. Cape Cod is shaped like an arm flexing its bicep, and the bridges connect where the shoulder would be. There are 13 towns on the Cape. One highway, Route 6, runs the length from Bourne (the shoulder) to Provincetown (the fist); 6A runs parallel from the shoulder to the crook of the elbow. Route 28 runs south from the southwest portal of the Canal to Falmouth (the armpit) and then east to Chatham (the elbow...
