...November's off-year congressional elections follow the pattern, little more than half (55.4%) of the nation's eligible voters will bother to show up at the polls. They should reflect on the example of the Albanian electorate. According to the Albanian news agency, exactly 100% of the country's voters turned out last week to elect representatives to the People's Assembly, local councils and the courts. Every single voter chose the Communist Party's slate of candidates. Actually, it was a cliff-hanger compared to the Soviet election in which Joseph Stalin, possibly...
...about that dislocation. A man enters a time-machine which looks like a high-school biology model of the human brain: scientists have told him that he will re-live exactly one minute of his life, at a point exactly a year ago. The machine goes berserk, and what follows is a visual montage of the man's past. Time barriers are simply not observed, and jumps from one sequence to the next follow a pattern which dimly emerges as the film proceeds...
Time to Finish. Not all of the "high-risk" students will flood onto the system's four-year campuses. Half will follow the pattern made famous by the California educational system and attend one of CUNY's seven two-year community colleges. University officials decided that to send all of the high risks to these campuses-the strategy that Agnew and other critics favor-would reinforce the discouragement of many black students and their teachers and prolong de facto segregation...
...older than a ball boy when Rosewall won his first U.S. championship in 1956. The diminutive veteran countered Roche's crashing slams with an array of delicate ground strokes that his younger opponent whacked helplessly into the net. Time and again, as the burly Roche charged in to follow up his whistling serve, Rosewall hit the kind of low, sharply angled passing shot that had long ago earned him the nickname of the Little Master. Final score: 2-6, 6-4, 7-6, 6-3. A perennial runner-up in recent years, Rosewall accepted the $20,000 winner...
...relief from the high interest rates that have hurt borrowers for two years was a major reason why the stock market snapped back last week from an early sell-off started by the G.M. strike. California's Bank of America, the largest in the nation, is seriously considering following Bunting in lowering the prime rate to 7½%, perhaps this week. Some Manhattan bankers would not be surprised to see the cut soon become widespread. Bunting predicts that the industry's giants will follow his lead, as they reluctantly did two years ago when First Pennsylvania made...
