There's been a lot of talk about the Lampoon doing a movie one of these days, but that is probably an effort more meticulous than they're capable of. They have come out with a second LP, which was partly inspired by the Lampoon's house rock band, the Central Park Zoo, whose members include Poonies Mark Stumpf and Peter Gabel, and whose single 45 record can be played on the juke-box in nearby Tommy's Lunch. Along with Stumpf, the prime movers behind the new record were Jonathan Cerf, who was once Ibis, and former Hasty Pudding...
...afraid the eyes of the Lampoon have been caught by the men with the money. All they talk about these days are the big deals they're about to get into with all these entrepreneurial adults. Things like the Life parody are done almost entirely to make money. The Lampoon guys are in a rare position of established detachment, and they should either write down what this position inspires them to think, or maybe sponsor some fun and games on the outside...
Taken at simple face value, McClellan's first subpoena does not threaten the universities very much more than does the current Congressional talk of "anti-riot" legislation. McClellan apparently is not going to use the information to try to take aid away from the 32 students.

And the information that McClellan forced out of Holyoke Center is far from secret. If he had been in a hurry, McClellan could have sent an aide to the Office of Education files...
...casually shot through with such names as Bob Dylan, Glen Campbell, Mason Williams, Roy Orbison, the Cowsills, the Monkees, Buffy Sainte-Marie. There are no "Johnny Cash Dancers," no fleshy production numbers. ("I don't go in a lot for that flashy stuff.") Nothing but a minimum of talk and then down to the substance of Johnny Cash and his show: singing songs. One regular singing session that Cash conceived and is particularly proud of: "Ride This Train," a wandering medley of folk songs and film clips through times and places in American history...
...crunch" talk-the word was on nearly every banker's and broker's tongue last week-delights the Federal Reserve. The board interprets the commotion as evidence that its tight-money policy is now beginning to force banks to make difficult decisions about what to do with their funds, instead of trying to dodge monetary discipline by scraping up money abroad. So far this year, the Federal Reserve has allowed the U.S. money supply to grow at an annual rate of less than 2%. That is sharply below the inflationary 11% growth allowed in the second half...
