...planned $26 million Soldiers field sports complex is completed within the next few years as its designers hope the problems of inadequate space and facilities will be greatly allestated. The addition basketball and swimming facilities could spare a resurgence of J.V. interest in loose sport. In any events, many of the Harvard Radcliffe athletic teams will be able to breathe more easily what the proposed complex becomes a reality...
...Oilman Paper Co. A major patron of music and dance, Oilman has lent Baryshnikov a New York penthouse rent-free. Saunder and Oilman have introduced him to musicians like Cellist Mstislav Rostropovitch and Conductor Leonard Bernstein. Baryshnikov has plunged eagerly into an investigation of American culture. He spends his spare time at plays, operas and especially movies. He is a considerable student of television, whether afternoon cartoons or old movies on the late show (he has worked up imitations of Humphrey Bogart's "Hello, sweetheart" and any number of commercial pitchmen). In a more Russian vein, he has begun...
...knew we would win," says Knowles. "I've told the guys here to think the same way." No one has practiced the philosophy better than Steve Stone, a scholarly righthander (Kent State, '69) who publishes poetry and helps manage three restaurants in his spare time.

Theodore Sorensen's spare but sprightly volume focuses on a much narrower question: What now for the presidency? In the wry, graceful prose that lent class to the speeches of President Kennedy, Sorensen clings unfashionably to the liberal yearning for strong Presidents. Yet he admits that Kennedy, too, was error-prone and hobbled by the federal bureaucracy and congressional fief. Because "the power to do great harm is also the power to do great good," Sorensen would have his President strongly accountable to an aroused press, Congress, the courts and above all the people. On the grounds that...
...characters that inhabit the surrealistic landscape of television situation comedy. From this same world--embodying everything most apple-pie-like in the American consciousness--comes the family in David Rabe's Sticks and Bones, which distorts these stereotypes without ever quite leaving them behind. Rabe is out to spare us nothing. Not only do characters in this particular situation comedy have to go the the bathroom; worse, they come out with lines like "I want to drink from the toilet and wash there." This is precisely what Rabe wants us to do--to rub our noses in all that...
