Since he was responsible for the bulk of the reporting on Detroit Pitcher Denny McLain, this week's cover subject, Kane had ample opportunity to test his theory. It proved to be unfounded. Kane's big problem was not belligerence; it was entirely a matter of timing. McLain kept moving so fast that Kane hardly had a chance to ask all the necessary questions. Kane found himself taking notes while chatting at the water fountain in the Tiger dugout, while chasing his man through hotel lobbies, in between sessions at a television studio and on the warm...
...Mayhew argues that all educators will come to recognize that a balanced, liberal arts college education can be absorbed by and helpful to almost everyone, provided that the pressures of grading and lock-step progress are eased. Instead of flunking out, students will be able to stay with a subject until they master it. Mayhew may be overly sanguine in predicting that by 1980 "parents will have accepted the fact that childhood or youth will have extended to 30 to 35 years of age." But with increased life expectancy, he argues, the 30-year-old graduate can still anticipate...
...Romans" has been dealt with before in a variety of contexts. Most recently, a group of essayists put together a book by that name, describing the spread of American legions into Canada.

Most recently, a Paris scholar claimed that the lady resembled Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots. Director Rich calls that opinion "moonshine" and "absurd." His thesis: "All three paintings go back to a lost original, perhaps by Clouet...
...answers to the SEC charges. Then an SEC examiner will conduct the public hearings, probably in Manhattan. If he and the commission uphold the accusations, Merrill Lynch could face penalties ranging from a wrist-tap censure to permanent revocation of its license to do business. The institutions would be subject to milder punishment. They could, for example, be barred from operating as broker-dealers, or lose their registration as investment advisers. But, except for Dreyfus Corp., which operates the well-known Dreyfus & Co. brokerage firm, almost none of them engage in such activities. In any case...
