President Bok has placed a high priority on continuing education, and creating this office is part of Harvard's attempt to adjust to this new trend, Shinagel said. The Department of Extension Studies annually enrolls about 9000 students...

...there is a trend no bigger than a program director's soul to be discerned here it is two half-hour comedies that deal with fortyish women trying to start new lives. Fay (NBC, Thursday, 8:30 p.m. E.D.T.) is played by Lee Grant, and she is a divorcee. Phyllis (CBS, Monday, 8:30 p.m. E.D.T.) is a newly widowed Cloris Leachman.
