Professor Wendell Clausen has inaugurated a new seminar this semester entitled Classical Philology 299b, The Culex: an Introduction to Latin Textual Criticism. Among the recondite aims of this course will be "practice in reading and collating MSS, making an apparatus criticus, and establishing a "text." It may be helpful to those ready to embark on so perilous a trek in the groves of Academe to halt a moment and take heed of A.E. Housman's published Remarks on the Culex (1902). THE EDITORS...
Locked on the Sun. But the shot was not a total flop. Ranger III was as crammed with electronic tricks as a barrel of transistor radios. Even though its launching had been faulty, it was cruising undamaged through space, its intricate apparatus still in working condition. Just 27 minutes after launch, Ranger's C.C. & S.

...written in expensive perfume on the stationery of the Ritz. But literary style can't be photographed, and in other respects the novel is sort of a mess. The plot is often gappy and sometimes sappy; the characters are superficially silly and fundamentally unreal. The intellectual apparatus of the tale-a compendium of cocktail party chatter about psychiatry-is almost pathetic. What's more, in the film the 18-to-29-year-old heroine is played by 42-year-old Jennifer Jones...
