Yale has done nothing illegal, unless refusing to act as a pawn is illegal. The Langer affair arose solely from another in a series of childish, petty disputes between the NCAA and AAU over control of American amateur athletics. Langer, with Yale's full consent, participated in last summer's Maccabiah games as a member of the U. S. basketball team. But basketball, ironical, was the only sport forbidden to NCAA athletes at the Games, since the NCAA wished to deprive the AAU (which organized the basketball team for the Games) of the major portion of its squad and thus...
Advice and Consent. The inaugural ballgown cinched the job. A deep yellow satin formal designed by Harvey Berin, the dress was warm enough (with matching jacket) to be worn outside, festive enough for the occasion (with embroidery and beading), comfortable enough (with an easy, straight skirt) and photogenic enough (with simple, straight lines) to win Mrs. Nixon's wholehearted approval. The fashion industry was less enthusiastic. "A dress for the mother of the bride," sneered Designer Chester Weinberg. "A schoolteacher on her night out," snipped Mollie Parnis...

Jackets skim the body, neither hiding nor defining; sleeves cap the arm, and skirts end at mid-knee, neither here nor there. Pants do not suit...
...into his face than when one never sees him" [Dec. 5]. I seem to remember that Eichmann and other administrators of the "final solution" had little taste for witnessing the outcome of their executive orders. If only because the authority for acts of state ultimately resides in the broad consent of the people, we must apply to ourselves the same rule that we have with such grave innocence applied to criminals of war in the past. If animals did what we accuse these few of doing, we would destroy them. Yet we hesitate to condemn so quickly...
Before filming began, I informed the producers that I would not consent to any nude scenes, and was reassured that there would be none. As soon as my work was completed, a double was hired without my consent, and several nude scenes were inserted. I argued and pleaded with the producers for a period of five months, pointing out that these scenes were totally unnecessary and had been added evidently for the sole purpose of conformity with the current trend, but since I had no legal recourse, I lost the argument...
