...REVIEW OF the circumstances of Brown-Beasley's and the superintendent's departures suggest a solid prima facie case against Harvard, although not necessarily on racial discrimination grounds. Take first the case of the B&G employee, Julian K. Fredie: arrested on July 27 for threatening a Radcliffe student, Fredie is suspended with pay. Two weeks later, shortly after his conviction on the criminal charge, Fredie resigns from his job at Harvard...
...this hardly destroys Brown-Beasley's basic dispute. The facts of his case suggest quite strongly not only that Harvard erred in his dismissal but also that the personnel manual provides insufficient protection for salaried employees. It seems arbitrary, for example, for Harvard to cite the "very serious offenses" clause when other disciplinary rules in the manual state...
This is not to suggest that Harvard students have foregone abortions in the past because they could not find the $150 the UHS will now supply. Women at Harvard have generally managed to find funds for abortions if they did not want a child. But financial questions have often assumed far greater importance than they should.

...price of the game was higher this year: an estimated $10 million, up from the $9 million total the three networks spent in 1972. Much of that extra money went into elaborate new sets and gadgetry. CBS headquarters was sheathed in enough slanted Plexiglas to suggest a futuristic Dairy Queen. ABC's election-center reporters sat at semicircular desks that resembled, and were described by their occupants as, bumper cars. NBC's 336-sq.-ft. map of the country looked like a visual aid for Hollywood Squares: each state took on a hue (red for Carter, blue...
...erotic overtones of this surmise tinge Gass's entire argument. For he is not finally interested in pinning "blueness" to the wall, but in suggesting what is truly "blue" in the realm of art. Not, he insists, the vivid depiction of sexual activity. Literature can convey only a mechanical imitation of the real thing-and offer a skewed reality to boot: "I should like to suggest that at least on the face of it, a stroke by stroke story of a copulation is exactly as absurd as a chew by chew account of the consumption of a chicken...
