...officer of the director of financial aid, which is decorated with only a few modest soccer-related pictures and a large portrait photo of Malin's predecessor, has changed a good deal since the last time Malin sat there, five years ago. The "threat of impeding bureaucracy" that was one of his strong incentives to get out of the job in 1977 now is in full flood...
...work." So declared Amin Gemayel, 40, last week as he addressed the members of the Lebanese Parliament, who had just elected him by a vote of 77 to 0 to a six-year term as President of their fragmented country. Gemayel spoke while standing beneath a black-draped portrait of his brother Bashir Gemayel, 34, who was killed by a bomb blast on Sept. 14, nine days before he was to have assumed the presidency.

Glass's adventurous collaboration with avant-garde Dramatist Robert Wilson resulted in Einstein on the Beach, an experimental five-hour "opera" that played to packed houses in Europe and twice sold out the Metropolitan Opera...
...editors chose to publish 35 from Leifer's portfolio, the largest photo essay by a single photographer ever to run in TIME. All, except for the cover portrait of Attica Inmate Richard Eder, were black-and-white shots. Says Leifer: "Prison is a very, very boring existence for convicts. We sought an honest look." One of his most vivid portraits is of Charles Manson, convicted of the Tate-LaBianca murders of 1969, who was photographed for the first time in his cell. At the start, Manson, whose drug-using, commune-organizing, desert-dwelling '60s life-style once made...
