...Harcourt, Brace & World, Inc., which bought SELECT last fall for an undisclosed sum plus royalties, now has a full-time five-man staff at work in New York keeping the 2,000,000 items of data on the colleges up to date. SELECT is already producing a potentially valuable byproduct for the colleges. The abundance of information that is available from student answers to those 283 searching questions should help college administrators estimate future needs for faculty and facilities.

...once the sturdiest and the most pathetic character in Couples, a quasi-Christian and would-be family pillar who finds real joy in such things as "the children's choir's singing, an unsteady theft of melody." His adventures in adultery are an almost accidental byproduct of his own spiritual confusion, his wife's complicated sexual indifference and the irresistible why-not willingness of the women around him. "Georgene had brought to their affair, like a dowry of virginal lace, this lightness, this guiltlessness." Piet responds not to the excitement but to the wondrous ease...
