GEORGE FRANCOM, 62, friendly, soft-spoken and devoutly religious. Francom joined Hughes as a driver and guard after attending three colleges and serving in the Air Force Medical Corps. He has four children and spends his spare moments in quiet pursuits: reading books on religion, going on nature-study walks and, when Hughes was in the Bahamas or Acapulco, swimming and snorkeling. More than any of his colleagues, Francom agonized over his employer's welfare. "He wanted to minimize the dope Hughes was taking," Mell Stewart told TIME.

...PECULIAR characteristics of the radio medium--flexibility, intimacy and the tremendous importance of the spoken word--tend to be lost when radio plays are translated into theater. When Harold Pinter wrote A Slight Ache (1959) and The Dwarfs (1960), the two plays being staged by the Adams House Drama Society this weekend, he used the radio form to experiment with a dramatic structure he felt could be "more flexible and mobile than in any other medium."

"Derek would be perfectly content if he could get his job done at Harvard and never have his name in the paper," Daniel Steiner '54, general counsel to the University and Bok's closest aide, said last spring...
...fact, we wish to take this occasion to affirm our opposition to the measures taken by the Park government to suppress basic human liberties within South Korea. The widespread control apparatus maintained by the Korean CIA, the torturing, imprisonment, and even execution of Korean citizens because they have spoken out against the regime, the censorship of the Korean press and postal system, and, most of all, the intense aura of fear created by these actions--all of these are abhorrent to us. Neither in word nor in deed do we wish to be associated with such policies and actions...
