...yardstick by which minority inferiority is measured is no longer the distinct rule of law, but the far more labile and equivocal "norm of white middle class culture." The barriers erected in front of the progress of minority groups do not change in fact; only in kind. For the minority students, saddled with more descriptions, labels, assumptions and expectations than a miner's packhorse with pickaxes, the white college or graduate school can be an almost impermeable maze of trials, tasks, hurdles and psychological leaps. If the challenges to these students were only academic, as they are to the "norm...
...while hidden from the public view, Winwood continued to be as involved with music as ever, exploring and experimenting with musical forms from around the world. Now, breaking his silence, an understated and unusual resurfacing appears to be in progress. For example, Winwood turned up as a sideman on Toots and the Maytals' recent Reggae Got Soul album, playing organ and piano, and he has produced and engineered a jazz-influenced album of West African "High Life" music by Remi Kabaka and Abdul Lasisi Amao, on which he also provided guitar and keyboard work...

It possibly offers even more as an introduction to Beckett...
Shinagel is disappointed that continuing education and the Extension School aren't being considered in the Task Force evaluations in progress. Harvard "should not divorce itself from realities," he says, "the Task Forces are lacking in peripheral vision." But he sees the need for a "sense of timing," and is waiting to see what the Task Forces come up with before pressing his case. The faculty was torn apart by the events of the late '60s, he says, "it has yet to re-define itself in the sense of mission. Whether the Task Forces will achieve this...
