VARIETY COMEDY, that standard entry, will include the engaging Bill Cosby, with a comedy hour on ABC in prime kiddy time. He faces tough competition from the perennial Wonderful World of Disney (NBC) in the 7 p.m. Sunday slot, known in the trade as "death alley." The Captain and Tennille, a.k.a. Pop Musicians Daryl Dragon and Wife Toni Tennille, are a) lackluster, and b) up against Rhoda and Phyllis from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. Mondays, and may have to go bionic to survive. The same thing goes for Van Dyke and company on NBC, which...
WELLS COLLEGE (515 women; Aurora, N.Y.). At the 1972 Democratic Convention, Frances Tarlton ("Sissy") Farenthold, fresh from a defeat in the Texas gubernatorial primary, was nominated for the vice-presidential slot on the McGovern ticket in a symbolic gesture by the Women's Caucus.

The cooperation on the platform, which Carter sanctioned, is not as easily seen. But a scrutiny of key issues in the platform, especially when compared to the positions adopted at the black caucus in May of this year shows that blacks incorporated...
...this critics' golden age, Pauline Kael has unmistakably earned her pedestal. With a gritty, grappling brand of opinionation (and largely because of it), her review slot at the New Yorker has often produced sparkling minor masterpieces. She's become the Chopin of the pan. When she lights into "Lost Horizon," the multi-million dollar clunker in Reeling, it's a virtuoso performance. "To lambast a Ross Hunter production is like flogging a sponge," she writes. "He is to movies what Liberace is to music, and once, on a television talk show, I saw them both. . .and the two unctuous smiles...
