...such explanations ring Hollow. Already most campus policies of any import are made behind closed doors--by secretive, unaccountable bodies like the Corporation and the Faculty Council. Housing policies, too, have in practice been quietly settled upon by assistant dean Thomas A. Dingman '67 and others' inconsiderate University Hall officials. That undergraduates have been shut out of much decision-making on student life issues is as good a reason as any why the renovations planned for this summer were executed so slowly and clumsily, why students are still assigned to North House "sink closets" in the spring, and why grave...
...Ring magazine's count, 439 men have been fatally injured in boxing matches since 1918. South Korean Lightweight Kim Duk Koo is the latest. His body was unhitched from a hospital machine last week and allowed to join his brain in death four days after a left-right combination by Ray ("Boom Boom") Mancini flattened him 19 sec. into the 14th round outside a casino in Las Vegas.

Here the viewer is excluded from the central table, which is strewn with breasts, remnants of latex-covered food and other morsels, by a ring of white wooden boxes. These taper toward the top and, like versions of the dolmens in archaic ritual sites, press to be read as abstracted effigies of the human figure: a ring of watchers, backs shutting out the audience, absorbed in an obscure ritual...
