...playing and occasional dramatic structure come right out of normal Westerns. Warhol just makes the themes more explicit. Viva plays a lone woman whose encounters with cowboys repeatedly threaten rape; her wish to be raped is more obvious than in the average heroine. The homosexual bonds within Warhol's band of cowboys are overt, but almost every Western implies them. Here Warhol is applying his approach to film-making-vulgarized mad Hollywood. His earlier films are vehicles for Ingrid Superstar or Edie Sedgwick, counterparts of Hollywood's mere stars. His plots are collections of inter-personal situations as opposed...

Jeep owners have their own clubs, and they hold an annual 1,000-mile crosscountry race in Mexico. The race is going...
...Russel T. Weil '49, president of the Harvard Club, said that such housing is a courtesy the club has long provided for groups such as the Band or Hasty Puddings on trips to the capital. He said that when he receives requests for housing, he makes an informal announcement asking for club members willing to provide it.
