...world of this brilliant first novel is Inside-inside a mental hospital and inside the blocked minds of its inmates. Sordid sights and sounds abound, but Novelist Kesey has not descended to mere shock treatment or isolation-ward documentary. His book is a strong, warm story about the nature of human good and evil, despite its macabre setting. For as the boardinghouse provided a stock slice-of-life locale for another generation of writers, the sanitarium seems to appeal to many modern writers as a comparable microcosm of the times...
...northwest Louisiana's Fourth Congressional District, liberals are about as popular as the cottonmouths that abound in the swamps about Shreveport. Last week, in a special election to fill the seat of Democratic Representative Overton Brooks, who died Sept. 16, the voters of the Fourth had just the sort of choice they liked: arch-Conservative Democrat Joe D.

The scene might well be Havana's Prado. But it is actually downtown Miami...
...more than absurd, they are bestial and very evil. The crucial incident of the first chapter (Snow's novels abound in crucial incidents) is not a hasty or disastrous slip of the tongue, as it is the gruesome death of a young assistant keeper who is crushed to death by a diseased giraffe. For the Zoo's leaders, however, death has only a Snowbound political significance: Falcon, the Curator of Mammals, is directly responsible for the killing, but Leacock, the Director, decides not to mention the incident to him because in his own campaign for a "National Zoological Reserve...

Advice and critical help abound for candidates. According to those who have participated on the CRIMSON, few organizations combine as many various opportunities, as many faculty contacts, as much exposure to what is going on around Harvard, as much chance to meet people within and beyond the University community. The experience is rewarding...
