...child. John was 4½ when he was farmed out to the suburbs All the sorrow, rage and confusion of this early boyhood were taken up again and again in songs like Julia and Mother. These early years were not an unhealed wound for Lennon, but more nearly a root, a deep psychic wellspring from which he could draw reserves of hard truth...
Garden State Bowl, tomorrow, at East Rutherford, N.J. The 8-3 Midshipmen of Navy take on the disappointing 6-5 Cougars of Houston. An interesting matchup, Houston's potentially explosive offense against Navy's well-funded defense establishment. The only sure thing is whom President Carter will root for. Navy has only permitted 10.1 points per game, fifth in the nation. Will Houston rebound from an impotent SWC season? Will Navy catch Giants' disease in Rutherford? Unpredictable at best. Navy 15, Houston...
While the second packet solution will allow the GSA to get its message across, it does not address the root of the problem, which is not information flow but blatant discrimination. Harvard will not solve its "gay problem" with the purchase of 6000 additional manila envelopes; instead it must clearly, without the shield of Robert's Rules of Order, indicate its support for the civil rights of gay students and then firmly support those rights at every opportunity. Administrators can begin this process by allowing the GSA to stuff its information in next February's registration packet...

In the play's epiphanic moment, a buxom secretary named Maddie Gotobed--the "Titian-haired, green-eyed" enchantress at the root of this particular scandal--instructs the committee of M.P.s investigating the charges that "the people" care about how they perform their public jobs, not how they conduct their personal lives. A sigh and a smile sweeps through the audience; they, too, can share in the self-righteous glow of this conclusion...
...weapon he had, and he used it diligently. Grosz's theater of capitalism is as clear and simple as the plot of an old morality play. Everything and everyone, except the victims, is for sale; all social transactions, except the class solidarity of workers, are poisoned at the root; the world is run by four breeds of pig: capitalist, officer, priest and whore. Such are the ingredients of caricature, but Grosz, especially in his early postwar work like Gray Day (State Functionary for the War Wounded), 1921, extracted a mean, indignant poetry from them...
