...Revlon purchased Evan-Picone in a deal that eventually made Evans rich enough to return to Hollywood as an independent producer for Dick Zanuck at Fox. Two years ago, when young Millionaire Charles Bluhdorn (TIME, Dec. 3, 1965) bought Paramount and began raiding other studios for talent, his first recruit was Evans. Unlike Zanuck and Hyman, who make the deals and handle the creative side of moviemaking, Evans is responsible only for the production schedule, which now includes some 70 projects.

"When I first started," admits Dancer Paul Sutherland, "about 90% of the men were queer...
...basic fact behind the growing opposition to ROTC is the increasingly inescapable realization that ROTC now wants to recruit college students for mainly military careers. The implication of this is that the presence of ROTC can no longer be justified by the old arguments about the need to maintain a civilian army. As the emphasis of ROTC shifts from training reserves to recruiting career officers, the view that ROTC "civilianizes" the military--the rationale by which educators have long justified their uneasy relationship with the armed services--becomes untenable...
