Carter's staff had another explanation for the board's action. In their statement, the lawyers claimed that Steel was fired as a rebuff to the legal department, which has lately taken on cases that the board considers too controversial. N.A.A.C.P. lawyers, for example, have sought the release of such "political prisoners" as Martin Sostre, a black nationalist bookseller who was sent to jail on narcotics charges in Buffalo last March. Whatever the board's motives, the N.A.A.C.P. must recruit replacement lawyers without delay. The association is currently involved in some 150 court actions, and although Carter...
...often presents a forbidding atmosphere: a museum. But the private, nonprofit Children's Museum in Jamaica Plain, outside Boston, is a very different kind of museum. It has no collections behind glass, no bored guards, no admonitions to be quiet or keep hands off.

"As an editor," writes Elson, "he did not like to lay down guidelines and rules; he understood that creative writers and editors worked better if given wide latitude. He was often disappointed in their work, but he accepted the risk as part of the price of aggressive journalism...
Harvard's coaching staff does not feel that the single wing is responsible for Harvard's four straight losses to Princeton. In three of the last four years, the Tigers have scored no more than two touchdowns against the Crimson. Head coach John Yovicsin attributes last year's lopsided loss to the simple fact that the Tigers did almost everything well on that day, while his team...
