...moved to Bonn last December, found his first taste of SALT summitry to be a welcome contrast to the summits he has covered in tropical Third World capitals. Among Vienna's pleasures, notes Griggs: "Its cooler climate, the absence of king-size cockroaches, honest-to-goodness hotels with clean sheets and, behind the tapestries in what was once Empress Maria Theresa's ballroom, wiring for the simultaneous translation of the proceedings...

...Laws is a silly, badly made and squeaky-clean comedy that just happens to deliver more whopping laughs than any other film this year.

Schoolwork sometimes interceded in the quest for a good time, but several class members allude to the easy availability of the "gentleman's C." The early '50s were the golden age of the college prank. For example, two Harvard band members were arrested in October 1953 for staging an impromptu 3 a.m. concert on Yale's Old Campus. The most elaborate stunt may have been The Crimson's theft of the Lampoon's symbol...

...Jones, who had chosen to leave the hideout because he had just sworn off cigarettes and was getting edgy in the smoke-filled room. To avoid the police, Jones was house-hopping around Houston. When a Ranger and another lawman arrived at the place where he was staying, the clean-shaven Jones jumped over a back fence; the police thereupon arrested his mustachioed brother Clayton and, despite his avowal that he was the wrong man, helicoptered him back to Austin. People began calling the cops the "Bumble Bees...
