...young dancers (more all the time) are being pushed hard. It is a new direction for a company used to a seniority system. Baryshnikov is almost grimly earnest about his reasons for starting fresh. Says he: "In the corps I try to measure the span of inspiration and dedication. I am angry at dancers who give just what is in the contract. They are not part of the theater, not attuned to its spirit. I look into their eyes, and there is nothing there. I like to perform and share-100%, that's my standard. Give to the choreographer...
...season just 2½ weeks old, the A's have delivered an emphatic answer to the hot-stove skeptics: the longest season-opening streak in modern baseball history. Oakland won its first eleven games, breaking the ten-game record held by three teams.

Within a span of only 17 days in 1975, two women, Lynette ("Squeaky") Fromme and Sara Jane Moore, tried to shoot Ford in California. Last week he shared his thoughts on the dangers of the presidency with TIME West Coast Bureau Chief Ben Cate. After the two incidents in 1975, said Ford, "I didn't change my style...
...that science now offers evidence of human characteristics in the fetus far earlier than once believed. "I do not say human life begins with conception," says Ramsey, "but science has given us ample factual grounds for believing that the unborn child is an independent human being within the time span [that is, six months] in which the law now says this unborn child can be killed...
