...crime rate went up the first two months of this year. Seems it was a pretty mild winter in Detroit, and Spreen says the reason for the crime rise was that he didn't have his three best patrolmen working for him. He calls them "Snow, Rain and Cold." Ho, ho! Well, just as this whole thing is getting off the ground, Spreen starts another drive, this time for dollar contributions from citizens to help the department buy some new equipment. He calls it "Buck Up Your Police," and already $11,000 has come...
...family jokes, and the British Establishment is one of the closest of all cultural families. One no more needs to be a member of it to relish Anthony Powell than one needs to be a French homosexual with aristocratic friends to enjoy Proust. Like the peculiar British fondness for cold toast, though, a taste for Powell's prose is best acquired through prolonged exposure...
...every other mixer I'd ever been to before. What struck me this time, though, was the contrast between this mood and that of the free concert.

Within those rigid confines, they deplored Soviet repressions...
Talk about the coeducation that is coming degenerates quickly into questions which are now unanswerable. It is hard to distinguish the trivial from the substantive objection, hard even to be sure whether coeducational living will have a major or negligible impact on undergraduates. Many of the reservations reduce to cold assertions of male Harvard's self-interest. One Faculty member compares the merger rather coarsely to "a rich man marrying a poor girl--he had better be pretty sure that he's getting some spiritual benefits before he goes through with it." That spirit has been well hidden...
