Dean Rosovsky discussed the issue of professors' teaching responsibilities in his Dean's Report, 1975-1976. "I have assumed," he wrote, "that it was the accepted standard for professors to divide their time equally between teaching and research, and to divide their teaching equally between graduate and undergraduates...
...Economics Department, some professors don't seem to meet Rosovsky's standard. Only about half the tenured faculty members in Economics teach as many as two full courses, and substantially fewer than half teach as many as one full course for undergraduates. Rosovsky, in his "yellow letters," which evaluated the quality of undergraudate education at Harvard, in October, 1974, noted that between 1945 and 1974 the proportion of courses in which undergraduates were enrolled declined 28 per cent...
Schaffner's direction has no charisma, no wit, little skill. With the exception of the obvious, lowangle shots of Gregory Peck as the evil doctor, his camera set-ups are standard and static, the editing choppy and unrhythmical, the use of select German symphonies and thundering crescendos at the sight of Peck ludicrous. The pace is non-existent until the last twenty minutes, a bloody brawl between Peck and Laurence Olivier as an old Nazi-hunter, when it may be labeled "slow." The old men resort to biting each other, and the graphic shredding of Olivier's ear and Peck...
...general question - "How do you feel that things are going in the country these days?" - 50% were willing to answer with a mild "fairly well" (only 5% thought things were going "very well").

Republicans and Westerners tended to be the most pessimistic; Carter supporters and those under 35 tended to be the most optimistic...
Death on the Nile, by this standard, is a good Christie movie. The film opens on the lush greens and browns of the sprawling English country estate of Linnet Ridgeway (Lois Chiles), who agrees to do best friend Jackie (Mia Farrow) a favor by hiring her fiance as groundskeeper. Fiance (Simon MacCarkindale)--Cambridge-educated, handsome, but broke--shows up, and he and Linnet engage in heavy eye contact. Soon it's wedding bells, but not not Mia, who devotes herself to pursuing the lovebirds around the world and ruining their honeymoon. She pops up on top of a pyramid...
