...cold, dark view on life, the film changes tone: now it is bleak and blue, now it is warm and red. Does Schlondorff misunderstand his little hero or has he simply made only token efforts at linking each sequence to the whole? He manages to reduce the most profound chapter of Grass' novel, a discussion about art and life between a midget magician and a soliderly artist to a frolicking picnic atop a cement pillbox...
...Dean Henry Rosovsky and other members (including me) of the founding Committee on Afro-American Studies in 1969 and the subsequent McCree Review Committee in 1972 have endeavored to bring to Harvard's Department of Afro-American Studies. Professor Genovese is simply one of the several most innovative and profound scholars in the field of Afro-American Studies, having captured the most coveted prize in American history--the Bancroft Prize (1975) of the American Historical Association--for his monumental work, Roll, Jordan, Roll: The World the Slaves Made (1974).

The Federal Home Loan Bank Board has revealed that during the second half of last year, 266 of the nation's 4,100 savings and loans and other thrift institutions lost money. Wall Street analysts say that at least 20% of them are now operating in the red. Amid this disarray, the Government is quickly changing the nation's banking statutes. President Carter last week signed...
