...year-old from the poster is speaking now. "You have to learn where the buttons are that do something. Certain things have been very gratifying -- opening a clinic in a housing project, keeping schools open after hours --these things make a difference in peoples' lives. Keeping peoples' heads from being broken! (she is recalling Cambridge's more radical decade, during which she was mayor and city councilwoman...
...scholars have high aspirations. "I love teaching, but being a junior administrator and lecturer is not a viable long-term career," says George Smith, 31, a history Ph.D. who has taught at Harvard for the last two years. "We see ourselves with a taste for power and money." The project supports those goals. "We want mainstream jobs for these people in channels that will take them to the top," says Co-Director Harrison...
...most important art show in Europe this summer is "Paris-Berlin, 1900-1933" at the Pompidou Center in Paris. It is the second of three exhibitions designed to describe the links between Paris and three other capitals of modernist culture: New York, Berlin and Moscow.

The hilarious highs easily compensate for the puerile lows. A few dumb gags about ROTC thugs and big breasts do not detract from the film's scabrous assaults on undergraduate...
...such tasteless license can come some of the best comic writing in the country. Four years ago, O'Rourke and Kenney edited the Lampoon's most successful publishing project to date (1.6 million copies sold): the 1964 High School Yearbook Parody. A precursor of Animal House (also co-written by Kenney), this work was a replica of a second-rate school annual, right down to the pushy ads for local merchants and the classmates' autographed cliches in the margins. The book is so rich in social detail that it brings a whole fictional town, Dacron, Ohio...
