This blabber-proof telecast looms as far too rare an occasion to waste only in joy over a trial separation from the stream of half-consciousness that usually accompanies athletic endeavors on the tube. While sports fans will surely relish the moment, it should also be seized for grander purposes, for awareness may just be dawning in the Age of Communication that silence is indeed often golden. President-elect Ronald Reagan has so far, often to the chagrin of the press, shown an admirable reluctance to grab all of the many chances he gets to sound off on just about...
...years the same way he played hockey--intensely. A foremost physician, a noted author, and a determined athlete, Halberstam was the realization of an elusive ideal, the true renaissance man. "Nothing is wasted and every experience is used at least once," he once said; and the relish with which he approached the projects he worked on--including his practice as a foremost cardiology specialist and his well-received novel, The Wanting of A.

In the Medical Area, where District 65 of the United Auto Workers is attempting to organize clerical and technical personnel, the University will fight to the finish to prevent a union victory--as it did, barely, in 1977. Any semblance...
Immediately, he is lionized by a parade of advocates who relish the idea of a martyr's bearing witness to their pet creeds. A seedy intellectual, played with querulous pungency by John Heffernan, wants Senya to die for the valor of the intelligentsia, while a writer urges him to expire for the glory of art, and a faded beauty argues for the ideal of romantic love...
