...Kriss. A Harvard graduate, Kriss worked for two years as executive editor of the Saturday Review and has been at TIME for ten years. Says Kriss: "Our portfolio went through five versions - which shows that there's a tremendous pool of talent around." We don't suggest that readers will agree with every choice, but we do hope that they will be stimulated to think about who the nation's leaders are - and what their roles should...
...standards are "based in mythology." In fact, surveys have shown that from 1968 to 1972, the number of blacks on college faculties increased only from 2.2% to 2.9%, the number of women from 19.1% to 20%.

The problem is that the concert will probably sell out fast and be loud and crowded and unmanageable. But bear with it. July...
Writing in the current issue of the Hastings Center Studies, Ramsey argues that the idea of death with dignity is now being too readily promoted and death itself too easily accepted. To suggest, as many proponents of euthanasia are doing, that death is an occurrence as natural as birth smacks of "whistling before the darkness descends" and denotes a "very feeble philosophy." It is "soap-opera stuff' to say that "death can be beautiful." Indeed, says Ramsey, death is "the ultimate indignity...
