...assault, public defamation of character and a conspiracy to drive him off the team. In 1977 Rutledge was one of the school's few freshmen to win a varsity letter, but a 1978 car accident left him weak and underweight. He says that he asked to be red-shirted (sit out the games but attend practices) for that season. Kush scheduled him to play. Rutledge was averaging a poor 34.6 yds. per kick, and in last year's match with Washington he made a particularly bad punt. As he left the field, Kush allegedly grabbed...
...arrival in Paris was marked by pageantry appropriate for the first trip to Western Europe by the top leader of the Chinese people. After Hua's American-built 707 jet rolled up at Orly Airport, he stepped onto an "extralong" red carpet for a brief walk to an Alouette helicopter and a 15-minute flight to the Esplanade des Invalides, where 150 mounted members of the elite Republican Guard were drawn up in splendid array.

First to enter the dock was former Red Guard Wei Jingsheng, 29, who last year tacked up a famous wall poster calling for "the fifth modernization - democracy." As editor of Tansuo, he published an article detailing the harsh treatment of political detainees at Qincheng prison, outside Peking. After a 5½-hr. trial, Wei was sentenced to 15 years...
...unexampled picture of some 55 years of Soviet musical life. His tender and witty evocation of his teacher Alexander Glazunov constitutes one of the most affecting portraits of a composer in the literature of music. Shostakovich muses over the fates of his close friends, the director Vsevolod Meyerhold, the Red Army Marshal Mikhail Tukhachevsky and others more obscure: composers, an organist, a musicologist. All died in the Gulag. "When I started going over the life stories of my friends and acquaintances," he told Volkov, "all I saw was corpses, mountains of corpses...
