Finally, in 1975, the perpetual reserve clause was abolished by baseball arbitrator Peter Seitz. He ruled that Andy Messersmith and Dave McNally were no longer bound to their respective teams upon termination of their contract plus one additional renewal year. After that year, the players became free agents, able to offer their skills to the highest bidder. Seitz declared that the Uniform Players Contract did not grant a club a perennial option to an athlete's services. It is no wonder that this sweeping judgement, which obliterated the binding labor rules that had persisted for nearly one hundred years, thrust...
...hospitality of Haitians has apparently rubbed off on some of the expatriate innkeepers who have settled in Port-au-Prince. At the gingerbreadstyle Grand Hotel Oloffson, for example, owner Al Seitz, a native of Connecticut, is reluctant to add more rooms to his charming anachronism because "if it got too big I would lose personal contact with the guests." But the stay at the Oloffson is worth it if only to meet Columnist Aubelin Jolicoeur, Haiti's unofficial ambassador of good will, who drops by with a diverting account of the past week's goings on. Equally solicitous...
Serving as Honorary Chairwoman was Joan Kennedy, who headed the list of noteworthies including professors John Kenneth Galbraith. James S. Ackerman, Fogg Director Daniel S. Robbins, former Brandeis Rose Art Gallery Director William Seitz, former Director of the Museum of Fine Arts Perry Rathbone, Boston's First Lady Kathy White, art patron Elma Lewis, and filmmaker Frederick Wiseman. Some of these sponsors donated works to be sold in the auction, like an antique instrument given by former President of Radcliffe Mary Bunting, while others helped publicize the event. But the real organization job rested with chairwoman collector Nataile Klebenov...
When Physicist Frederick Seitz, 56, becomes president of Manhattan's Rockefeller University on July 1, he will be taking over a 14-year-old school that has only 138 students. For Seitz, who has been head of the National Academy of Sciences since 1962, it will hardly be a professional step back ward. Rockefeller University not only ranks as one of the world's leading centers of scientific research, but is also a unique educational phenomenon-a graduate university that gives no grades, charges no tuition, confers nothing except doctoral degrees...
...Francisco Artist Bruce Conner paints and pastes together his caustic collages and assemblages from all manner of thrift-shop odds and ends. When they were shown at the Museum of Modern Art's "Art of Assemblage" in 1961, William Seitz, the show's organizer, was sufficiently impressed to rank Conner on a par with Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns. Yet, while the latter two have gone on to Venicelebrity and $20,000 canvases, Conner, at 34, remains mainly an underground hero, known to the world at large only for his fine experimental films...
