...reports--the development of a smaller, well-defined graduate school, the construction of a school of government--have taken hold. In the arts, Bok was primarily responsible for saving the Visual and Environmental Studies program, creating the Office for the Arts, and bringing Robert S. Brustein from Yale to direct the Loeb Drama Center. In all his writings, Bok has stressed the need for interdisciplinary programs and worked actively--as he did as dean of the Law School--to link policy-oriented schools. Bok believes that while the each-tub-on-its-own-bottom philosophy works well for financial matters...
...close. Viewers saw Count Basie's legendary reserve during an appearance on 60 Minutes last year. His laconic performance--"Drugs? You can't use drugs and play jazz.

In the meantime, the government is doing some politicking of its own: at a recent pro-partiless rally, a panchayat minister declared that "The supreme objective of the multi-party...
...hope undergraduate women will quickly organize to articulate the direct benefits the Radcliffe Forum gives them and to convince President Horner that the Forum's services are necessary, representing the essence of the goal to provide women an excellent and equal education. I hope, too, that President Horner will reevaluate her decision in light of the myriad of indirect benefits the Forum gives to undergraduate women through its services for graduate women. Cynthia J.
