...rebellion flared up more than a year ago, after the revolutionary government in Tehran and the leaders of the country's 4 million Kurds failed to reach agreement on a plan for Kurdish autonomy. The Kurds said that they wanted only to preserve their culture and Ian guage and to run their own local government. Tehran suspected that their real goal was independence. What particularly irritates the central government is the disdain of the Kurdish population for Khomeini's brand of militant Islam. They prefer the Kurdish Democratic Party and other leftist groups to the clerical establishment...
...vogue is not tied to any individual designer. Indeed, in some ways it represents a rebellion against duds that bear big-name labels. Says Armond Suacci, manager of Cable Car Clothiers in San Francisco: "Preppie people do not need designers because they already have taste in clothing."

...profound scholars in the field of Afro-American Studies, having captured the most coveted prize in American history--the Bancroft Prize (1975) of the American Historical Association--for his monumental work, Roll, Jordan, Roll: The World the Slaves Made (1974).

It is important that Professor Higgins' position on this matter be made clear to scholars in the Afro-American field, that he disassociate himself from this incredible decision, and I urge him to come forth. Professor Genovese's presence in Afro-American Studies at Harvard...
...time there were five other barber-pole makers in the country: two in Chicago, one in St. Louis, one in Los Angeles and a small one in Winston-Salem, N.C. Marvy and circumstances gradually put them out of business. A man who could have foreseen the long-hair rebellion of the mid-'60s might not have put his money into barber poles then. But by 1967 Marvy's factory, working two shifts a day of twelve to 15 men each, had turned out its 50,000th pole. That one is an elegant rig with gold-plated castings, which...
