...Coop jumped on the bandwagon by advertising "Slightly Used" Naval Uniforms for a mere $22.50. Humphrey Bogart hit town in a new flick called Casablanca. And a move to liberalize parietal hours by permitting women in the dorms until 8 p.m. instead of seven (just a few years earlier, the rule that required that a third person also be present had fallen by the wayside) was defeated by the masters...

...year is looking back. Sometimes it seems as if half the country would like to be dancing cheek to cheek with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in a great ballroom of the '30s. The other half yearns to join Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman on a back-lot Casablanca of the '40s to whisper: "Play it, Sam. Play As Time Goes By."

...were incapable of hero worship. Those we most admired, in fact, were not real heroes but the anti-heroes of fiction or film: the Jake Barnes of The Sun Also Rises or the Humphrey Bogart of Casablanca. Begin a scene from that movie, and almost any film fan of our generation can finish it with appropriate gestures and flourishes. ("What brought you here?" Claude Rains, the good guy-bad guy Vichy captain asks Bogart. "My health. I came for the waters." "What waters? We're in the desert." Bogie shrugs. "I was misinformed.")
