...army in Lebanon, which now numbers 21,000 men with 90 tanks, holds the lush Bekaa Valley-Lebanon's breadbasket-across the mountains east of Beirut. Christian Lebanese meanwhile hold the Mediterranean coastal area north of the capital. Between those allies, until last week, was a Palestinian mountain salient centered on the crossroads town of Ain Toura. Assad and Sarkis demanded that the Palestinians evacuate their salient and return to their refugee camps below the mountains. In addition, Assad insisted that Palestinian Liberation Organization Leader Yasser Arafat send away any P.L.O. units that had come into the battered state...

What is needed is the meshing of disparate elements into an organic whole. The salient factors are the physical plant, the guiding personality, common aesthetic purpose and access to the public purse, together with the mature seasoning of tradition and the ability to cope with the carpers who greet every visible defect as a disaster...
Equal access, one of the more salient issues in the admissions world, finds support in the committee, as does the admissions committee's basic premise that a diverse class is its ultimate aim. The group seems to be at a standstill presently, agreeing on the broad concepts and still too unaware of the admissions process to offer specific suggestions.
