...Best." Last week, in a bare-boarded, dirty-windowed courtroom in London's Grosvenor Square, before a U.S. Army general court-martial, the ugly story began to unfold. The first defendant was slight, mild-looking Sergeant Judson H. Smith, a guard at the camp, who got an 8th-grade education in bloody Harlan County, Ky. In the words of Colonel James A.

Sarah Lawrence College for girls was founded to extend progressive education to college age. It had few rules, no final exams, no required courses and little supervision. Residents of respectable nearby Lawrence Park used to charge Sarah Lawrence girls with having "too many Saturday night parties, too many bare legs and too many ukuleles." Smith and Radcliffe sniffed it off as an expensive (tuition: $1,700) and frivolous finishing school whose principal attraction was its nearness to Manhattan...
