...Dusen dismisses the familiar rumors that Hammarskjold, a lifelong bachelor, was a homosexual. His inability to establish close relationships with women, argues the author, stemmed from his admitted "extreme physical modesty" and a feeling that the desired "ideal of mutual understanding" was unattainable in marriage. Van Dusen also points out that Hammarskjold was too much of an intellectual prig to have had much luck with women anyway. When a friend once asked him why he was not interested in an attractive Swedish girl, Hammarskjold solemnly replied: "She didn't appreciate T. S. Eliot...
...plot is as spare as the dialogue, and it never totally unravels. After six years of teaching at an American university, Teddy, a philosophy professor (Michael Craig), brings his wife (Vivien Merchant) back to North London to meet his widowed father, a bachelor uncle, and two younger brothers.

And the 1904 Harvard Law Review, which boasted editors like Felix Frankfurter, assailed "the anomaly of requiring a bachelor's degree for admission, and granting only a degree of the same nature...
...Star-Spangled Girl. Eden without Eve is Neil Simon's idea of Paradise. The eternal female drives his characters nuts. In The Odd Couple, a pair of poker-playing middle-agers fled their wives to room together in bachelor bliss. In The Star-Spangled Girl, a pair of post-Ivy League rebels share a dropout of an apartment with penurious satisfaction until a girl who looks like a whipped-cream frappé shows up to curdle their...
