CERTAIN basic decisions concerning the type of man the Corporation is looking for have already been made. High on the list of qualifications sought in any candidate is acceptability to both students and Faculty. Whether this is a meaningful bow to student power or simply the pragmatic realization that no president will be successful here if he does not have the confidence of these groups, it necessitates allowing at least a selected group of students to pass judgment on the next president before he is chosen...
...friends began the Paris Review, but about a 70-year-old photographer, an ostensible failure, who is always in the right place at the right time yet always gets the wrong picture. He is on the Lusitania, but shoots only the horizon and a snip of the bow as the ship goes down; he is present at a political assassination, but records only the assassin's coattails; he was present when the flag was raised at Iwo Jima, but handed his camera to someone else while he helped the Marines put up the colors.

True, the play's surroundings have been cinematically expanded...
Consistent Superiority. The changes that Chance made on Intrepid-shorter keel, rounder bow, fuller afterbody -have obviously made the white-hulled sloop swifter than ever. What is astonishing is that she may actually be a faster boat than Stephens' brand-new Valiant. Her first two races around the triangular 24.3-mile course set the pattern for the trials. With Picker at the helm, Intrepid handily defeated the trial horse Weatherly by 3 min. 55 sec., and then trounced Heritage by the embarrassing margin...
