With their truncheons they smashed two press cameras. Previously all newsreel crews had been sent completely out of Ipswich...

The Count will provide a platoon of Austrian ski teachers for the resort...
...impetuous bridegroom (Would You Marry a College Girl? Yes.) is prefaced with a little monolog about waiting for the delivery of a new automobile. The "differential" story of another young couple (Would You Marry A College Man? No.) begins with factory instructions on breaking in a new car, a theme whose smutty possibilities are as obvious as they are outworn. Some times Weller grinds his gears pretty badly in shifting from one tale to the next; sometimes the transitions are lightly made...
