Johnson, who has worked at Harvard since graduating from Simmons College in 1940, has served as administrative assistant to Deans or Acting Deans William Scott Ferguson, Paul H. Buck, McGeorge Bundy, Nathan Pusey (acting as his own Dean); Franklin L. Ford, Edward S. Mason, and John T. Dunlop...
...retired last year as a member of the Corporation, is almost a sure bet. President Pusey, if tradition is followed, probably will net get his until next year. Dean Dunlop, runner-up to Derek Bok in the Presidency sweepstakes, may get one as a consolation prize, as Paul Buck did in 1953. One or two members of the various faculties-perhapsMason Hammond, the former Master of Kirkland House from Arts and Sciences, Jean Mayer from Public Health, or Paul A. Freund from Law-will get degrees. Radcliffe President Bunting is also a likely choice as is University troubleshooter Archibald...
...late youths of bucks and princes always end, and in a country once upon a time they ended just at high noon on a hot summer's Monday. Flanked by her manservant, the Headmistress scrutinized the running pack with interest; the bucks and princes finished their limbering-up, and the twenty-furlong course was over.

...film is not unamusing. Buck Henry has some nice pratfalls as the father (though I found Lynn Carlin labored as the wife); there is a Village rock audition featuring teen-age girls who struggle to ally themselves with crude and hopeless romantic lyrics; and an SPFC meeting during which evening-jacketed bourgeois folk turn on for the first time. But there is so little control over the film that even these go wrong: Henry often becomes a cipher; the SPFC scene is both cruel and whimsical in a mix that doesn't mesh; and I even may be mistaken about...
...Milwaukee Bucks have a problem: they just may be too good for their own good. Last week the Bucks won what could easily be the first of a string of National Basketball Association titles. Like the old New York Yankees, they so humbled their opposition that they robbed the championship of much of its interest. With 7-ft. 2-in. Buck Center Lew Alcindor dominating the last game like a keyhole colossus, Milwaukee beat the Baltimore Bullets 118-106 to sweep the finals in four straight games. It was one of the most lopsided final play-offs in N.B.A. record...
