...John's humor glinted with a fine, hard intelligence and had a mocking, satirical edge. He also had a sharper way with the language." Porterfield next encountered Lennon in 1968, when he and Paul McCartney were in New York to announce the formation of their own record label, Apple Corps., Ltd. Porterfield, who had written a TIME cover story on the group the year before, was again struck by Lennon's patience and courtesy. Three years later, Porterfield sat in Apple's London headquarters listening to Lennon speak with bitterness about the breakup of the Beatles. Says...
...Harvard women simply write off the credibility of the other colleges and universities and pronounce the women silly airheads--their only desire in life being to net a Harvard man who will marry them and make them happy forever and anon. In many cases this label is not deserved--yet little is ever done to dispel the myths that have been around for so long, and that show no likelihood of dying soon...
BREUER'S THEATER is undoubtedly "experimental"-it calls itself that, and unsympathetic audiences will probably label it "offbeat" at best, "crazy" at worst.

From 1969 to 1971, Zhao lived at a reeducation farm in Honan province--eight hours train ride from Peking, with the chance to visit his family every two weeks...
MARLETTE ENJOYS working for the Observer. "I would trust my editors to do right," he says, "more so than, say, the editors of the Washington Post." Yet there have been inevitable problems being a Left (and I will use that label even if Marlette won't) cartoonist in the middle of the Bible Belt. "After a year or two at the Observer," Marlette says, "my editors were getting a lot of pressure from the powers that be. What were they doing allowing this kid to come into Charlotte with both guns blazing?" Partly in response to this uproar, the editors...
