Although Rosovsky fathered the current educational review, he has until recently remained in the shadows, giving the task forces what he calls "an opportunity to thrash around." But in the last few weeks Rosovsky has assumed the role of the country doctor, making rounds for both social and remedial purposes. "I ask what the task forces are doing and suggest things they might do, I try really to act as a friendly critic," he says. Rosovsky, in regard to the health of the task forces, says he has diagnosed "relatively good progress." Still, a review of the seven...

Usually movie monsters get to work under the most pristine studio conditions. Mattey's great white not only had to behave like the real thing but also had to work in a shark's habitat. Imagine King Kong tramping down Fifth Avenue and shin-nying...
