Last week the Radcliffe College Council added a new twist to Garden Street's political contortions. Meeting during vacation, the Council--a Radcliffe version of Harvard's Corporation--turned down the Radcliffe Union of Students' fourth attempt to draw up a constitution for itself...
Indeed, for all his rage, Cleaver himself cannot help noting that the Negro male spirit is inexorably and literally shaking loose in the twist and the "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!" of the Beatles-a musical style that was hijacked, he says, from Ray Charles. The Beatles, argues Cleaver, constitute a "soul by proxy"; they are the middlemen between the white mind and the Negro body. In oversimplified terms, this suggests that the more the white man learns to shake his body and loosen up, the more he will penetrate and come to understand the Negro psyche. An interesting thought-but will...
...fluttery gallery row? Rembrandt's The Night Watch. Rembrandt's The Night Watch? That's right, along with Titian, Fragonard and Van Dyck. As portrayed by John Clem Clarke, 30, a former football hero from Oregon State, these are old masters with a new twist.

Absolute power, he suggests, does not merely corrupt; it invites paranoia. The real virtue of this crisp exercise is that it is put in terms that a historian can respect and even...
Lilliputian Variant. Now, in the newest twist in tapes, a variant on the cartridge has come along that is even more convenient and Lilliputian than the original. Called a cassette, it encases a tape and two tiny reels within a plastic box scarcely bigger than a pack of cigarettes. It snaps into a player as handily as the cartridge does, but it must be removed and turned over at the midpoint of its playing time, which averages 40 minutes. Since it moves even more slowly than the cartridge, it sacrifices still more sound quality. But it boasts two big advantages...
