...kegs in the dorms (a move that triggered a midnight march of students chanting "We want kegs!"). The University of Kansas now requires that soft beverages be available whenever alcohol is served at on-campus social functions. Promotion of alternative beverages has even won a few converts at the Uni versity of Virginia, where demand for booze by undergraduates has long been legendary. The sales volume of the local liquor store in Charlottesville is third highest in the state. One Charlottesville wholesaler even offers a ''Dial-a-keg" service, complete with a fleet of truck drivers equipped with...
MacDonald is one of the few crime writers since Arthur Conan Doyle to rate a regular newsletter for fans (JDM Bibliophile is published twice yearly at the Uni versity of Southern Florida); he is also one of the American authors to have won France's coveted Grand Prix de Litterature Policiere. But critics and scholars have lots of time to catch up. MacDonald's mind still brims with mayhem for McGee. And there are lots of colors to go. "Let's see," says John D., sitting down to work. "There's ocher, ultramarine, peach, beige, cherry...
...will give it a flavor and texture that wouldn't otherwise get into print. Reading Thompson and no one else won't give readers a "full understanding" of what goes on during a Presidential election, a Super Bowl or a Chicano uprising in L.A.

Astonishingly, Boston's was the first professional production of a Tippett op era in this country. (Northwestern Uni versity staged The Knot Garden in 1974.) Although U.S. orchestras are increasingly taking up his instrumental works, his acceptance here lags behind even his late blooming in England. Tippett says he al ways knew it would take him a lifetime to come to artistic fruition. And, he adds, -T was always arrogant enough to know I'd get there in the end." The Ice Break emphatically confirms that...
Partly on Alkek's testimony, the grand jury alleged that Uni was the linchpin of a yearlong swindle. Specifically, the jury charged that M&A Petroleum, a small company founded by Alkek, and Ball Marketing had conspired in 1976 to sell Uni nearly 740,000 bbl. of certified old oil at prices from $5.17 to $5.48 per bbl. This oil was then illicitly recertified as new and sold to refineries at $9.55 to $ 14.45. The illegal profits came to as much as $6 million...
