Although last winter's blizzard clogged Cambridge streets for almost a week and brought many citizen complaints, city officials told a City Council meeting last night that they do not expect to modify last year's snow removal plans...
Nuclear power did much to help the U.S. get through the storms and coal strike that crippled fossil-fuel plants last winter, providing much of the electricity for hard-hit New England and the battered Midwest. Similarly, nuclear power could save the country from the specter of industrial shutdowns and power blackouts as the oil runs out. Even conservative estimates are that the U.S. will need 390 nukes to provide at least 27% of its electric power by 2000. The time to start building these plants is now. Otherwise, they will not be ready when the nation really needs them...
...accomodations at remodeled Dillon Field House. Mr. Hockey's quarters don't have any windows. Maybe he's claustrophobic in addition to his Crimsonphobia...The Journal suggested that shuttle buses be used for Harvard hockey faithful planning to make the pilgramage to BU's Walter Brown Arena this winter...Couple of very familiar faces in the Class of '78 have nailed down assistant coaching jobs.

Lynyrd Skynyrd, thanks to the auspices of a chartered plane (the same tool of fate used to glorify Jim Croce and Buddy Holly), is now a certified rock and roll legend--martyr, if you will. Last winter, the leader of the group, Ronnie Van Zant, and several band members died in a plane crash which terminated Skynyrd's ascent to the forefront of Southern and probably American rock. Left behind, broken and in disarray, were the rest of the band and a collection of tapes made...
King of Marvin Gardens, for the uninitiated (and there are many), is a wonderful and very bizarre film about two brothers--Jack Nicholson and Bruce Dern, here originating the psycho role Dern has used for the past six years--who spend a weekend in Atlantic City during the winter. Anyone who has ever been to Atlantic City in the winter knows that it's the most desolate, depressing place on the East Coast (not that it's all that great in summer). Brackman lived there for five years as a child, staying with a grandfather in the hotel business...
