...different parts of this program--which includes forays into theater, dance, music, arts administration, and even woodworking--call for varying levels of expertise; some are designed for trained professionals, others accept the rawest beginners. As a whole, the program serves a dual function, Crooks says: it allows student artists "to perform as professionally as they can under professional supervision," and it provides a service to the Boston community by alleviating what otherwise, Crooks says, would be a local "cultural famine...
...Kissinger will continue to manage U.S. foreign policy. Less predictably, many governments are also pleased that Kissinger will be answering to a new President. The Japanese and some European leaders have long felt that the Nixon-Kissinger duo was too fond of close-to-the-vest diplomacy and the rawest sort of balance of power politics. Ford is perceived as more open, more willing to consult with America's allies, and therefore a beneficent influence on Kissinger...
...Rabbit Redux (Rabbit led back), Rabbit, at 36, is still married to Janice. The time is the apogee of the Swinging Sixties. Rawest obscenities have become household words. Adulteries are public events, and man is about to land on the moon-a lifeless body that Updike employs to suggest the deadness of Rabbit's own existence.

Immigrating from South Dakota in the early 1900s, he married a half-breed of Amerindian-Scotch parentage and fathered six boys as tough as he.

Before Hart died in 1961, they put together a spread of 185,000 leased acres, with buildings and ranch houses worth...
Patrolmen, often the rawest, lowest paid, and least intelligent members of the force, are left with the other 99 per cent of police work, which Wilson dubs "order maintenance"--the usually tedious, sometimes dangerous duties of controlling restless teenagers on hot streets, of stepping into armed quarrels between lovers, of shepherding drunks. As Wilson sees it, the patrolman's lot is not a happy one. He pounds his beat alone or in pairs and doesn't enjoy the neat guidelines of the detective; "disorderly conduct," "creating a public nuisance," and other laws used to maintain order leave the patrolman with...
