...Carter, 33: "This type of student will dig into things for himself." Some noted guest lecturers will spur the digging. Last week Laura Fermi, widow of Atomic Physicist Enrico Fermi, began lecturing on science for ten days. She will be followed by Novelist Betty Smith (A Tree Grows in Brooklyn), Playwright Paul Green and Secretary of Commerce Luther Hodges. A symphony orchestra, string ensemble, ballet and drama groups are already deep into rehearsals. The sheer responsiveness of the students inspires the 27-man faculty recruited from high schools and colleges in nine states. One college instructor found that...
Patently Offensive. The first to take a fall was aggressive, Brooklyn-born Ralph Ginzburg, 33, a onetime Esquire staffer with a sharp eye for a salable commodity that is spelled sex. In 1958 he published An Unhurried View of Erotica, a sort of bibliography of banned books, and sold 275,000 copies. Last year he began publishing Eros, a quarterly "devoted to the joy of love." At $10 a copy, Eros offers little more than what can be picked up by a determined voyeur with scissors and a library card-a reworking of Lysistrata, ribald pieces by De Maupassant...
...Clothes. Hetty and Henry remained together 14 years-or as long as it took them to consume most of his inheritance. After the separation, Hetty moved into a cheap Brooklyn flat with her two children.

...While easing out many mediocre men, Beadle in 18 months has increased the faculty from 800 to 930. This year Chief Headhunter Levi has a rich catch, from Yale Historian Leonard Krieger to Michigan Law Professor Frank Allen and Negro Historian John Hope Franklin of Brooklyn College. Vows Levi grimly: "We are going to take the best men we can find, although we will probably raise faculty salaries across the country in the process...
There he stands, and who can believe him? Black corduroy cap, green corduroy shirt, blue corduroy pants. Hard-lick guitar, whooping harmonica, skinny little voice. Beardless chin, shaggy sideburns, porcelain pussycat eyes. At 22, he looks 14, and his accent belongs to a jive Nebraskan, or maybe a Brooklyn hillbilly. He is a dime-store philosopher, a drugstore cowboy, a men's room conversationalist. And when he describes his young life, he declares himself dumfounded at the spectacle. "With my thumb out, my eyes asleep, my hat turned up an' my head turned on," says Bob Dylan, "I's driftin...
