...clear to the Committee that a great bulk of the teaching in Harvard Harvard College is done by graduate student teaching fellows, and that the quality of appointment to this rank, and the quality of work done by the young teachers, are matters of great concern to the College and merited scrutiny by the committee...
...Affairs G. Mennen ("Soapy") Williams. And when the will of the Mennen toiletries heiress was probated after her death at 80 of a heart attack, it turned out that blood was thicker than charity, too.

Squatting on a scaffold that sagged perilously under his enormous bulk, a cigar clamped between his teeth, Diego painted exuberantly from dawn to dusk. His only diversion was the women who gathered below to watch him work. Over the years he made love to scores of them, including a tigress-tempered beauty named Guadalupe Marin, who once tore up several of his paintings in a fit of jealousy and on another occasion threatened to shoot off his right...
