...CATV operators gross about $300 million a year (typical charge: $15 for installation, $5 a month service fee) but pay nothing to the people who originate the programming. In the view of the critics, this action is roughly comparable to reprinting somebody else's book without permission. To test the broadcasters' right to require payment from the cable firms, United Artists Television Inc. sued a West Virginia CATV company that had retransmitted to its subscribers several United Artists films and cartoons from three out-of-town channels. Last week the U.S. Supreme Court held 5 to 1 that...
...parade across the screen this time of the year. There again was the line of dimpled sweet young things, gowns aglitter with sequins, hair piled high and smiles frozen in place from hours of practice before the mirror. There was the usual Congeniality Award and the inevitable quiz to test "poise, conciseness, speech and intelligence" (Host Mike Douglas: "Suzanne, what do you think of the way TV covers the news?" Suzanne: "I think it's fabulous"). And finally, of course, there was the big-moment-all-America-is-waiting-for when, amid squeals and swoons, the winner was announced...
...test the relationship between status and stature, Wilson introduced a stranger from Britain by a different academic rank to five groups of Sydney students. Later, after the visitor had left, he asked each group to estimate the man's height. As plain "Mr. England, a student from Cambridge," the stranger's height averaged out to be 5 ft. 9.8 in.

As the imposing "Dr. England, senior...
...soul? Man, that's the question of the hour. If it has soul, then it's tough, beautiful, out of sight. It passes the test of with-itness. It has the authenticity of collard greens boiling on the stove, the sassy style of the boogaloo in a hip discotheque, the solidarity signified by "Soul Brother" scrawled on a ghetto storefront...
...barriers have withstood the test of flying feet as stubbornly as Armin Hary's world record of 10 sec. flat for the 100-meter dash-set by the West German Olympian in 1960 and tied since by nine other sprinters. Last week Hary's Deutsche mark was not only broken but absolutely devalued at the A.A.U. championship in Sacramento, Calif. In eight 100-meter races-four heats, two semifinals, the final, and a runoff for one berth in this week's Olympic trials-no fewer than ten competitors equaled Hary's time, and three were officially...
