Seven years in prison, including a spell at New York's Sing Sing for armed robbery, inspired Miguel Pinero, 27, to become Broadway's first Puerto Rican playwright. For writing Short Eyes (TIME, April 8), based on his experiences behind bars, Pinero walked away with this year's New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for the best American play. Last week, however, it seemed that Pinero might be germinating a new plot. Approaching a subway token booth in a downtown Manhattan station around 12:35 a.m., he was overtaken by a swarm of youths, who vaulted...
...wholeness. In the detachment of his Haverford office, Coleman certainly should reflect on the masses of workers who have never had the opportunity to exercise their minds for a couple of months in, say, the rigors of running a college.

There is one innovation that particularly pleases the well-to-do party giver: Terrail's notion of presenting only the host with a menu that lists prices. (A dinner for two, with a modest wine, will cost an average...
This time Harry Parker juggles his boat, switching strokes and making general adjustments. They don't work and Navy wins the Sprints; it's the first time in seven years that a Harvard crew has not been champion, and the start of a long dry spell. May 1972: Harvard is undefeated going into the Sprints, looking for its toughest competition from Penn and defending champion Navy. The two boats will race side by side in the afternoon finals; Harry Parker tells coxswain Dave Weinberg not to bother about any other crew-look out for Penn...
