...Monday, March 13, Dean R. V. Jones called a meeting of graduate students to "discuss" Harvard's "financial crisis" and the solutions to it that the administration had decided upon. Up until that moment, he and the administration faced, in the graduate population, the most atomized and disunited segment of the University community. The expectation was docility: the outcome of that meeting, however, was the Graduate Student and Teaching Fellow Union. Since that time, although the administration continues to ignore the existence of the Union, it has increased its membership to over 1000 and has begun discussions within the University...
...sizable segment of that after-hours world consists of drinking, whoring, gambling and fighting. Bullins would probably get frothing mad at any white (playwright or not) who said some of the things that he says about blacks. He disowns the Lincoln Center production of The Duplex as a "coon show," though nothing in the script indicates that the spirit of the play has been violated. As a slice-of-life playwright, Bullins carves out zesty evocations of drunken parties, card-playing cronies, the sudden sensual thrust and parry of the sexes. When he can carve out the palpitating hearts...

...largest and fastest growing segment of the business is the pickup truck, which retails for $2,800 to $4,300. Once bought mainly by farmers, it has benefited from America's growing lust for outdoor recreation. The open-bodied truck is now a recreational vehicle, often topped by a camper, that carries or tows snowmobiles, bikes, and dune buggies to the mountains, plains and deserts. A recent Ford survey shows that 57% of all light trucks are used partly for recreation. Indeed, Dodge is setting up a squad of traveling repair vans that will service disabled trucks that...
...military segment of the Geneva Accords of 1954 provided that all outside parties regroup and then totally withdraw their troops prior to elections--which never took place--in South Vietnam. In recent years the North Vietnamese have labeled such withdrawal "mutual," and they have repeatedly stated that the question of withdrawal of non-South Vietnamese troops from South Vietnam must be settled after elections. After the U.S. and its allies withdraw, Hanoi says that all armies would remain intact until after elections when a new government would settle the question of troop disposition...
