WHEN THE DELUGE of stories revealing the involvement of various American universities in the Central Intelligence Agency's controversial MK-ULTRA mind control program of the 1950s first began to pour onto the pages of the nation's papers, administrators from institutions like Stanford and MIT felt obligated to promptly release a full accounting of their universities' participation in the projects. Harvard apparently feels otherwise. Nearly two months have lapsed since Daniel Steiner '54, general counsel to the University, pledged a comprehensive report for public scrutiny on the extent of Harvard's involvement in the MK-ULTRA program. But aside...
Medenica and Aronson will spend as much time as they can this winter putting together promotion kits, trying to pour some advertising dollars into the car. While top-level teams have no problems selling and space on their cars (witness the E-Z Wider car of two seasons ago), it may be difficult to sell potential advertisers because of the obscurity of Formula Ford races. The two entrepreneurs will also seek patrons wherever possible. Medenica's commitment to the effort is complete--he says he decided to attend Business. School in order to make enough money to keep racing...
THAT IS WHY, come Thanksgiving, all the runners will begin to return home from the Appalachian ghettoes of Cleveland, Dayton, Akron, and Detroit, from the Chevrolet assembly lines and the Goodyear rubber plants. They will pour out in their new cars, filled with their new children, to show off in front of family and old high school friends, to make the narrow mountain roads a bit more dangerous for a few days. Union Dues captures this spirit; Sayles knows, as they do, deep down, that they are interlopers almost anywhere except the hills. As for most of us, beneath their...

Unable to afford the tools to remove valuable brass plumbing, sinks, bathtubs and refrigerators in abandoned buildings, junkies pour inflammable liquid around the rooms, set a blaze and wait for firemen to chop up the floors, exposing the loot. Then the "mango hunters," as New York cops call them for their practice of reaping a harvest of stolen goods, move in, drag ou the fire-resistant fixtures and sell them -a bathtub is worth $25 on the open market, a wash basin $15. Some areas...
Like Casals, Slava is an unabashed romantic. Cradling his Strad between his legs?or, more precisely, embracing it?he seems to pour his Russian soul into every phrase, bowing long, singing lines with a subtle eloquence and a purity of tone. His technique is flawless. Modern composers lay finger-mangling minefields in the thickets of their pieces, but Rostropovich negotiates them with cheerful ease. "I don't even know why my hands do certain things sometimes," he says. "They just grab for the notes." His dynamic range, from the greatest fortissimo down the line to a pianissimo that comes...
