...Stop the Rain? Despite the nonsensical, Creedence Clearwater-derived (how do you say it? Hoool?) title, this is arguably the finest movie of the year, with barely a nod to the sentimental hokum that passes for sensitivity these days. Adapted from Robert Stone's award-winning novel about bringing Vietnam home--and with it, incidentally, two kilos of heroin. The film takes off and never lets up, sometimes reaching the point of nausea. Describing an Army campaign to murder elephants suspected of being NLF symps from helicopters, Michael Moriarty as John Converse says, "In a world where flying men hunt...
Student influence on administration decisions and policy--a remarkable concept here at Harvard. Most of us, I think, are agreed on the general principle that people ought to have some say in the governance of the society in which they live; this is the democratic principle. We live at Harvard; we work at Harvard; we play at Harvard; we learn at Harvard; we spend our money to help support Harvard.

Statements like, "Well, that George Hughes is pretty good, and his brother's not bad either," or "Late season collapses are one thing, but Harvard is ridiculous," although true, won't really tell you why the team wins or loses. I can spout some Truth after seeing one contest (the 6-5 overtime loss to RPI), but it's not fair to judge anyone on the basis of what he does in decrepit Troy, N.Y., where Zamboni-watching is more exciting than the nightlife...
...China watchers in Peking say that wall posters there seem to indicate a further liberalization of attitudes toward the West. One poster depicts a cadre of rice growers singing. "You deserve a break today," in an apparent shift from the past party line...
