Upstairs in the quieter wing of the Center--away from the noise and typewriters of the administration and publications staff--are studies for the 11 post-doctoral fellows and four foreign scholars. It is here that the serious scholarship--the Warren Center's really unique contribution to the field--is carried...
Minor Details. In quieter publishing days before World War II, an agent was usually little more than a genteel go-between for artist and publisher. His main activities were directed not toward books, but toward magazines; they paid a set amount for each article or story, the agent got his 10% cut, and the deal was finished.

The potential drain on the U.S. balance of payments may tip the decision in favor of General Electric's CF6, which was derived from G.E.'s TF39, designed for Lockheed's far larger C-5A military transport...

Last week Columbia's production line spun out Dylan's first post-accident LP. He had shown up at Columbia's Nashville studios in December only after exacting a promise of top secrecy. And if the pressagents were quiet, the recording sessions were quieter still. Dylan, 26, has abandoned the electric guitar and big-noise backing that thundered out from his last few albums, and has returned to his earlier acoustic-guitar-plus-harmonica framework...
