Yasser Arafat, whose Al-Fatah commandos last month provoked the latest round of internecine bloodshed by attacking rival guerrilla organizations in several cities, has been desperately trying to redirect the fraternal rage. In an attempt to reconcile the warring factions, he called for the creation of a unified "armed forces of the Palestinian movement" that would join the commandos in a new assault on Israel...
...motion the two-year sequence of events that culminated in last spring's Faculty vote to replace Gen Ed with a more detailed Core Curriculum. Henry Rosovsky, dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and the architect of the Core proposal, calls the curriculum reform "an attempt to redirect the attention of the Faculty to the concerns of undergraduates"; others, such as Harrison C.

The various arguments consumed the Faculty in formal debate for three months, and in behind...
...students on the basic issues of the Core. There he finds an irony--because, as he sees it, it is the same students who have for years protested the supposed lack of Faculty concern for undergraduate affairs, who led the fight against the Core.

I don't accuse them...
...Nelson Algren and Saul Bellow. Farrell gradually dropped out of sight, his books published but ignored by critics and readers who had moved on to other themes, higher styles. The old pro stayed on his outworn turf producing characters who still dumbly battled circumstance, like cuttlefish trying to redirect the tide. Olive and Mary Anne is the fixture as before. Its five tales are confined to the standard Farrell inventory: lives with insufficient love, the sorrows of gin, childhood wounds carried for a lifetime. Yet the stories cannot be easily dismissed or forgotten. Farrell's approach, like that...
