President Carter would apparently like to avoid responsibility for the Postal Service. The thrust of the Hanley-Wilson bill, which he is moving to kill without a vote, would indeed return management of the Postal Service to presidential responsibility. It is the sense of Congress that the public service commitments of the postal system should be continued without interruption and that these services should be financed by tax dollars...
...Melnick points out, Harvard's slipshod minority recruitment program is indicative of its slipshod commitment. The institutional framework of minority recruitment at Harvard is characterized by its unprofessionalism. It is obvious from Melnick's piece that student recruitment, a major thrust of recruitment at Harvard, is undercut; that professional recruitment is not a formal institutional objective; and that disorganization and incoherence pervade the minority recruitment effort in such a way that, in the future, these may serve as excuses to cut off all funds and cancel all obligations.

...American brand. In person the Pistols' antics add to the entertainment, if one enjoys a little gutter rebellion and a lot of depleted expectations. Rotten, Vicious, Jones and Drummer Paul Cook are only in their early 20s, but they have mastered the art of the 1950s pelvic thrust completely. Rotten is the live shell: an emaciated, electric figure who jumps from simian crouch to arm-swinging swirl to Groucho Marx prowl. Dissolving a coy smile into a demonic leer, he half snarls, half shouts the notorious Anarchy...
