...squat oak trees in the empty vastness of Pedernales country. He is only a fleeting presence, a blurred picture, a voiceless phantom. He has granted only one interview, a session with CBS' Walter Cronkite before the Apollo II launch, reportedly for a five-figure fee. He is seen only in telephoto glimpses: walking practically unnoticed on the University of Texas campus, going into the Johnson City Bank for a chat with A. W. Moursund, his old friend and business partner. He turns up horseback riding on the ranch, inspecting his herd of Herefords, watching a cattle sale...
...Catholics have strongly identified. Further, her emphasis on civil rights seems to have confused at least some Irish Americans, who have so long been opposed to black militancy. Where Bernadette has scored most heavily is with the liberal wing of the U.S. Establishment, but it remains to be seen whether the basically conservative voters of Ulster will respond with comparable enthusiasm when -and if-she stands for reelection. That is a very big if, since Bernadette has hinted that she will call it a day when her term ends...
...Said another: "I know the West believes peace will come when there is a good leader in Northern Sudan. But this is not true." Nobody knows, because Khartoum has not had a truly effective leader since independence. Whether Nimeri fits that description remains to be seen.

Zwingle, director of the Association of College Governing Boards, scoffs at the youth-leaning trend as "cosmetic, not substantive." The real decisions, he says, "are made in the committees of administrators and faculty." Still, many students see the appointment of young people to a school's highest policy-making body as at least a welcome step in the right direction...
Restaurant's plot follows the easy, an ecdotal style of the song but sharpens and widens its focus. Arlo (playing himself) is seen singing for his supper of gaseous French pastries at a Greenwich Village coffeehouse and trying to cope with a groupie who announces: "I wanna make it with you 'cause you'll probably get to be an album." By using such figures as Arlo's father Woody and Folk Singer Pete Seeger, Penn establishes a historical continuum. "Seems like Woody's road mighta run through here some time," Arlo says as he lights...
