...Oscar for best animated short subject with his autobiographical "Frank Film," made at Carpenter Center. W. Donald Brown '74 showed his full-length "Counterpoint" to packed houses at the Science Center in March, and brought out "Robin Hood" in May. Brown's promotion and financing methods suggested an entrepreneurial skill rather rare among Harvard filmmakers--most of whom content themselves with making short films which few people see--but his movies didn't live up to the expectations he aroused...
...many non-union printers are either workers who lack enough skill to qualify for a union, or workers who have so much skill that they can command better wages in the open market than the union can negotiate.

That nucleus includes Shortstop Bert Campaneris, Leftfielder Joe Rudi, Pitcher Catfish Hunter, Reliever Rollie Fingers, Bando and, of course, Jackson...
