...Boston, Harvard students planned a series of lights-out beer busts. For stay-at-homes, a chain of New York novelty shops offered a kit containing 50 "I Was There" buttons and a candle. Most of the 30 million Americans who lived through history's biggest blackout a year ago this week approached the first anniversary of The Night with a certain nostalgia. The memory also prompted a more practical concern. What, if any thing, has been done to prevent another failure on the scale of the 1965 eclipse that plunged...
...from school at 4:30, thus destroying the old cinq a sept timetable. Another aid for delinquent dames: the wig.""It's a wonderful alibi," explained one Parisian housewife last week. "You tell your husband you must go to the hairdresser. Then, instead, you send your wig and stay home to receive your lover. You retrieve the wig later and appear properly coiffed for your husband. Neat." As for Novelist Sagan, who was in New York last week promoting her new book, the failure of Americans to adapt to the new timetable was a bit tristessing. Gazing wistfully...
...open, state-wide primary -- and therein lies the key to Roosevelt's comeback. He has shown that in many ways he is an instinctively good politician. Unlike O'Connor, who often appears haggard on the speaker's platform from lack of sleep, FDR Jr. is able to stay unruffled by dozing off as his campaign moves from one stump to the next.

About one-third of Caltech's and one-fifth of M.I.T.'s frosh do not stay for four years, which implies that if such smart kids do not make it, something must be wrong with the teaching. To help freshmen adjust to the competition, Caltech now issues only "pass" or "fail" grades the first year. M.I.T., tired of the student refrain that "Tech is hell," has similarly loosened its freshman and sophomore course load, broken up its long-standard curriculum. "In the past, if a fellow...
Chances are that in most cases the games will stay, the boycotts will fade, and prices will drift upward. It may be small comfort to the housewives, but food still costs less in the U.S. than in many other countries: in West German supermarkets, steak goes for $2.25 a lb.: in Britain, string beans now command 60? a lb. Most important, Americans spend only 18% of their after-tax income for food, while Europeans-who have far fewer convenience foods -spend from...
