Pusey said that his participation in the letter on Hershey's statement bore no direct relation to a letter he received from the Law School Faculty before vacation asking the University to take "appropriate action" in response to Hershey's statement...
...Tolstoy and his wife Sonya. Troyat's portrait of Sonya is considerably more sympathetic than that drawn by most other biographers. During 48 years of marriage, which started with a brutal wedding-night struggle that left the inexperienced bride sexually unresponsive for the rest of her life, she bore his children, efficiently managed Yasnaya Polyana, the family estate, transcribed his chicken scratches into legible manuscripts and nursed him through illness...
...movie is a bore. MacMurray dashes around his vast house conducting calisthenic Bible classes, honking at his ambulatory alligators, roughing up his guests with show-off fisticuffs, show-off opera arias, show-off opinions.

But the only bright spots in this Philadelphia story are provided by the English elegance of Gladys Cooper and Greer Garson...

Frankly imitating the juxtaposition of dulcet tragedy and saline comedy that characterizes the work of France's François Truffaut, the two writers decided to write a script for him-even though they had never met him. In their original version, Clyde was a homosexual; he and Bonnie shared the favors of C. W. Moss in a weird menage a trois. At the time, Truffaut was working on Farenheit 451, but he took a week...
