...greater Boston area, it is also true that this very fact makes fraudulent use of the card much simpler. If one's new Coop card is lost or stolen, $100 worth of charges-the current personal liability limit under Massachusetts statutes-could be run up within a very short space of time. The answer of course, is that the same might be said of the old Coop card Except that it is immensely easier to amass fraudulent charges in several stores than in one, particularly since credit card thieves, according to police evidence, know that they must do their charging...
Tuesday, October 7 FROM HERE TO THE SEVENTIES (NBC, 8:30-1 1 p.m.). The problems of today (race, environment, hunger, overpopulation) and the concerns of the future (sexual permissiveness, space, today's youth grown up) are given serious consideration by twelve top news commentators, including John Chancellor, Chet Huntley, David Brinkley, Edwin Newman, Barbara Walters, Elie Abel, Aline Saarinen.

Boito, at least, approaches Goethe as an equal, his Prologue and Epilogue conjuring up infinities of space, time and the magnitude of Heaven...

Carol Neblett, a vocally arresting but inexperienced soprano, did both Margherita and Helen of Troy. As Faust, Tenor Robert Nagy sang powerfully but with obvious effort. Julius Rudel's conducting rose successfully to the peaks but tended to coast through...
...surprising that Downey also likes nearly all of Stanley Kubrick's movies. Kubrick, like Downey, never travels in airplanes and does not believe in order. In Space Odyssey, where a cool-calm computer turns into a cool-calm homicidal maniac, Kubrick pulls the rug out from under seemingly sound systems in the same manner as Downey does in Swope. And the people who called 2001 plotless and pointless are bound to say the same thing about Downey's film...
