Fans find out what is happening to their favorites through a dozen-odd soap magazines. Daytime TV is the largest and purest: it has a 380,000 circulation and discusses only soaps. Mostly the stories are breathless accounts of stars' offscreen habits and romances. Item: Carolee Campbell is leaving her role in The Doctors to pursue her interest in the martial arts. Last year the mags had some real meat to chew. Another World Actor George Reinholt, the soaps' bad boy, had so many off-camera tantrums that enraged Head Writer Harding Lemay wrote him out of the show...
...other American universities is a flagrant violation of academic freedom. The department's invocation of a Joe McCarthy era law forbidding foreign communists entry into the United States unless they are granted an ineligibility waiver, as justification for not giving Giorgio Napolitano a visa, is an example of the purest form of bureaucratic nonsense.

Even the smallest difference between stones can cause a completely different print." Only if the diamond is cut up into smaller gems-often difficult to do unless the original stone is quite large-or if some of its facets are repolished will the distinctive...
About the only field left to the movies, in which they could speak in a characteristic voice, is spectacle. The movies that overpower the viewer with effects only possible in film are the purest, most powerful cinematic experiences. Lacombe, Lucien, though it happens to be an excellent movie, could have been a book or a play; 2001 could only have been a movie...
