...CoEvolution Quarterly reminds one of this bathroom wall style. Subtitled "A Supplement to the Whole Earth Catalog," it is put out by POINT, some sort of non-profit subsidiary of Portola Institute, the wonderful people who brought you The Last Whole Earth Catalog, Epilog, and numerous other updates. The Quarterly shares the slapdash grafitti layout that made The Catalog great bedtime reading, interspersed with long articles on topics like saddles and trappings, space colonies, and what's left of the New Left. There are also interviews with at least nominally interesting people like Marlon Brando and astronaut Russell Schweickart...
...telling precisely where, when or how badly. After the disaster, Professor Raffaele Bendandi of the Faenza Geophysical Laboratory reported that seven or eight days before "the ground in northeastern Italy rose by 7.75 in., according to our instruments. This was a sign that we could expect some sort of tremor." The area along the Tagliamento is earthquake country of a sort. At the Geophysical and Astronomical Observatory in Monteporzio, Scientist Mariacecilia Spadea had already measured 20 or 30 minor shocks there this year. But, she said, "there was no history of severe earthquakes there in this century. It would have...
John Patrick Tully, a pouty, blue-eyed cocaine smuggler and confessed contract murderer, is just the sort of criminal former Philadelphia Superpro-secutor Richard Aurel Sprague loved to put on ice. No longer. In fact, the fighting D.A. is currently serving as Tully's lawyer. Sprague, 50, who gained national fame when he traced the killing of Union Insurgent Joseph ("Jock") Yablonski and his family up a chain of conspiracy until former United Mine Workers President W.A. ("Tony") Boyle was convicted of first-degree murder, has walked through a legal looking glass and emerged as a slugging defense attorney...
...happened over the years since the Harvard bureaucracy wafted out of Lehman Hall and billowed into Jose Luis Sert's filing cabinet of grey stone across Forbes Plaza. Back in Lehman Hall, recalls R. Jerrold Gibson '51, director of the Office for Fiscal Services, work was a "green eyeshade sort of of thing," copying figures from one sheet of paper to another by hand. Now, when the circulatory system behind Harvard's huge bureaucratic blush thrums more precisely, computeristically, the work is more interesting, Gibson says...
...took him in 1973 to an open office on the third floor of Holyoke Center as director of the Office of Fiscal Services. Like all other offices in Holyoke Center, his office's windows do not open; some employees say this gives work a sort of hermetic and stuffy feeling. Gibson also has an FM radio that plays softly while he works. So does Brown-Beasley, and he says that all employees on the third floor of Holyoke Center should have the privilege. Music should be "piped in," says Brown-Beasley...
