Flabbergasted. "By 9:45 a.m. Friday, Oct. 12, Dinitz still had heard nothing about the 20 charters. A half-dozen Israeli planes had transported military equipment from the United States to Israel, but that was, as [Dinitz] put it, 'a drop in the bucket.'" When Dinitz called Kissinger to complain, the Kalbs report, "the Secretary seemed surprised and angry.

...Loeb Drama Center staged passable productions all year, but the whole center--and Harvard drama in general--concentrated on standard, light-weight plays done many times before.

He continues to surprise in this latest film, but by playfulness. Bunuel manipulates a half-dozen engaging characters in an ironic world of distorted time and confused identity, creating a witty and eloquent phantasma. Bunuel has become an aesthete, but he retains his expressiveness. At age seventy-two, he has become the screen's Nabokov...
...narrowed his list to a half-dozen candidates two weeks ago. Lindzey and Henry Rosovsky, professor of Economics, appeared to be the top two candidates. Bok declined, however, to name any of the candidates on his final list...
