Harvard apparently threatened last week to fire Alan Balsam, chief shop steward for Local 26, following an incident involving the serving of hamburgers. Balsam has long been active and outspoken in defending workers against the University's blatant anti-union policies. Thus it is not at all surprising that the University should seize the first available opportunity to remove him. The immediate pretext in this case was the hamburger dispute; the "hit man" was Buford Simpson, manager of the College Dining Halls...
...white-and-green flag of Italian luxury products-from $50 silk scarves to $150,000 necklaces-profitably in American turf. At last count, in an eleven-block stretch of Fifth Avenue in midtown Manhattan, there were eleven Italian botteghe, each one apparently striving to be the most exclusive shop on its block. "Fifth Avenue?" asks the proprietress of one recent arrival. "Oh, you must mean La Quinta Strada...
...shoes at from $82 to $420 a pair, operates out of a grand salon that could have been lifted from a jet-age Florentine palazzo. Roberta di Camerino's place, which specializes in sportswear and $200 velvet handbags, has the piny élan of a ski shop at Cortina d'Ampezzo. Bookseller Angelo Rizzoli (who sells magazines, newspapers and records in many languages, as well as lithographs that range in price from $85 to $9,000) spent $2 million fitting out his shop with Vicenza marble floors, solid walnut balustrades and Renaissance chandeliers.

Genteel Privacy. Indeed, genteel privacy is the uncommon denominator of most of the Italian entrepreneurs. Bulgari, a jewelry shop that strives to make Tiffany look like a Woolworth counter by comparison, is buried so deep in the Pierre Hotel that no Fifth Avenue window shopper would know it exists. Ferragamo, a shoe salon, is set back from the avenue and not easily spotted by the unknowledgeable. "Most of our customers are celebrities," says Piero Nuti, general manager of Ferragamo. "We seldom see anyone else." Silversmith Ugo Buccellati is happiest when his sales force entertains only two customers a day. Gucci...
...director's absurd vision of the Orient culminates in two scenes, one in a Chinese acupuncture shop and another in Bali. In the first, an inscrutable Chinese man in a grey robe places two needles in Emmanuelle's temples, and the audience--along with Emmanuelle's timid male companion--watches her drift off into sexual fantasies. But it's hard to see why she needs anything to set her off, given her behavior in the rest of the film; all the acupuncture does is serve as an excuse for what, predictably, happens next. The scene in Bali, while slightly less...
