...administration instructed the officer to contact the students involved and ask them to return the memo but did not authorize the room searches. Stephen Rockefeller, dean of the college, said yesterday. Calling the incident a mistake, Rockefeller added that the officer was "over-zealous and exercised bad judgment...
...decision was delayed, though, by an internal squabble among the FTC commissioners. Chairman James Miller, a Reagan appointee known for his pro-business views, was eager to drop the suit. Michael Pertschuk, a zealous consumer advocate who was commission chairman under President Carter, was just as adamant to keep it going. In December the two other commissioners, Patricia Bailey and David Clanton, both moderate Republicans, voted with Pertschuk to hear more arguments. By last week, however, Bailey and Clanton had switched sides. Clanton concluded that no cereal monopoly exists. Bailey decided that, monopoly or no, the proposed punishment was inappropriate...
...KNBC, which is syndicated to 36 stations and takes a special delight in giving TV commercials the hotfoot. There are other raisers of consumer consciousness who are just as solid-NBC's Betty Furness, or 20/20's John Stossel-but none can quite match Horowitz's zealous show-biz savvy.

Passionate fervor, Tuchman observes, is one quality indispensable to a good historian; the other is ability--innate or trained--to write...
...cool, thanks to Lester Bangs and Mr. Christgau. This book is hardly comprehensive, nore objective, but it doesn't and couldn't try to be. He loves enough types of music--Reggae, Soul, Punk, and Rock and Roll--and listens to enough music (14 hours a day, brag his zealous press releases) to at least be accepted on his face value. Okay, so he went overboard and gave all the Ramones albums A's, and both NY Dolls Albums A-plusses. So what? He explains himself in a few sentences. There's non of the tortured delving into non existent...
