...college boys went home for the holidays; these days, more and more are taking off with or without their girls and fraternity brothers for a bit of resorting on the cheap. Spring vacation, for instance, is Fort Lauderdale time (or Malibu, or Bermuda), where you can throw your sleeping bag on the beach and live on hamburgers and beer. From Christmas to New Year's, it may well be a ski resort, where you can bed down in a bunkhouse and live on hamburgers and beer...
King-Size Kit Bag. Graham not only overestimated Jock Whitney's tolerance but underestimated, or overlooked, that unassuming man in Chicago, Marshall Field. By nature cautious. Field has been moving slowly since his father's retirement in 1950 turned him into a reluctant newspaper publisher. But he has been moving steadily.

Judith Merril scraped the bottom of the barrel, and, by her own admission, few of the 32 short stories, poems, cartoons and other oddments that she assembled are science fiction. James Blish, a drug industry public relations man, writes In Tomorrow's Little Black Bag, which is praise for wonder drugs to come. In High Barbary, Lawrence Durrell satirizes the British Foreign Office, whose delicate young men cannot get a tolerable haircut outside one special shop in London. Freedom, by Mack Reynolds, is a blameless political sermon predicting that the Russians will overthrow Communism because...
