...along too. Both Hertz, the No. 1 rental-car company, and National, No. 3, have been "dragged kicking and screaming," as Olson puts it, into a gigantic giveaway game started by No. 2, Avis, last September. The giants of the rental-car business are courting customers with a growing array of gifts, from toy koala bears to vacations at resort hotels. This costly contest comes at a time when the industry's profits, pounded by a recession that has cut into travel budgets, have plunged from more than $250 million in 1979 to less than $50 million last year...
...royal maxim. The logistics of the Queen's retinue rival that of a small army. Her luggage alone is staggering: half a dozen stout leather trunks, hat-and shoeboxes, two queen-size 6-ft. wardrobes for ball gowns. No spifty designer luggage for Her Majesty, but a motley array of well-worn pieces, some of them hand-me-downs like the slender parasol case inherited from her grandmother Queen Mary. An intricate system of labeling and cross-referencing keeps her voluminous wardrobe and matching accessories in order. The system is managed by her two dressers, provided with ironing boards...

...Herschbachs' most successful innovations has been the introduction of "Freshman Courtship Week," when the Freshmen are invited to Currier for an array of recruiting events. Last year, nearly 100 prospective Currier House sophomores showed up for events, such as a Masters' Open House, a dance, a volleyball game, two one-act plays and wide screen TV showings of videotaped movies. That all but four of the new sophomores put Currier down as one of the housing choices indicated the success of the week...
LOVESICK leaves the viewer like a partygoer with an empty stomach, stuffed with a vast array of reheated gimmicks from other movies but still lacking a satisfying main course. This latest Hollywood release stars Dudley Moore as another New York psychiatrist who falls in love with his lovely neurotic patient (Elizabeth McGovern) to the accompaniment of innumerable cute gimmicky scenes. In both content and style, the material proves merely a rehash of past comedies, romantic comedies, and comedies about psychiatry...
