...urge behind Hairy Men is human enough-sex. Two college boys and their girl friends borrow a Greenwich Village artist's studio for a weekend in hopes of satisfying that urge. They never do. The unalterable code of the bogus sex comedy forbids it: beds are props, not stops. It would be a joke to call Playwright Hunter's dialogue comic, though an attractive young cast paced by a wry comedienne named April Shawhan pumps stray laughs into the saggy script...
Harvard could well add a pair of lines to the immortal couplet that a sports-writer composed long ago about the two-man pitching staff of the old Boston Braves. With the season 15 games old. The Crimson nine has been unable to , borrow, steal, or excavate another front-line pitcher to go with righthander John Scott and lefthander Jim McCandlish...
Easier to Borrow. The U.S. would rather reform the monetary system by expanding the lending powers of the IMF. One of Washington's pet ideas is to vastly increase the IMF's lendable funds and make it easier for countries to borrow those funds to settle international debts.

As President, Johnson receives a taxable salary of $100,000, along with a taxable expense account of $50,000. After standard deductions, the tax on the combined $150,000 would equal about $79,466, which means that Johnson, like many of his predecessors, does not necessarily have to depend on his salary for a living...
