Last spring Beverly Hills Hairdresser Umberto Savone noticed that the hair-raising price of a wash, cut and blow-dry ($35) was driving clients away from his fashionable Wilshire Boulevard shop. To lure them back, Savone unveiled the "mini-serve." For a trimmed-down price of $15, cash-conscious customers can get their locks soaped, clipped and conditioned. The blow-dry, though, is strictly do-it-yourself. Savone provides the equipment, but the client does the work. "Shops and real estate businesses have been closing in Beverly Hills, and our clients could no longer afford our regular prices," says Savone...
...earlier letters in July, the students had specifically attacked the choice of a white instructor for the mini-course, and they objected to what they called Greenberg's "apparent hostility toward historically predominantly Black educational institutions, his adarment refusal to relinquish directorship of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund to a Black attorney, and his opposition to Black student associations on predominantly white campuses."

As for the resistance to Greenberg, the dean says, "It works against, not for, shared goals of racial and social justice." Argues Roger Fisher, a faculty member normally sympathetic to minority activists: "It is a mistaken notion to think one must personally be the victim of a particular problem to be able to teach about that problem. One need not be charged...
Elsie's has served River House residents ably for generations. Regretabbly, the place is entering the 21st century with high tech signs, moderately prompt service, and opperssive video games in an adjacent mini-arcade. But everyone must sample the famous TD (Turkey Deluxe), and Elsie's offers a neat breakfast for under $2. The Kennedys allegedly broke from touch football games in front of Winthrop House for snacks and chow...
