Xerox Journalism. The trustees eventually went along with the award, but not without some soul-searching. Columbia President William J. McGill revealed that "a very substantial number of trustees feel very strongly about the problem of approving a prize which seems to convey that the university is approving illegal acts." Some trustees also balked at rewarding White for a story that may have fallen in his lap. Said McGill: "The feeling is not that the reporter is at fault here but that the award is significant only because of the misdemeanor, and that seems to us to be Xerox journalism...
Promoted as, of all things, a comedy, and as an alternative to the sex-and-violence black exploitation films, Claudine is one of the year's most dismaying products.

The cast as a whole--and particularly Gilbert and Ann Bailen, as the portress--pay careful attention to the Greek meters and rhythm, which speed up or slow down, depending on the feeling...
...songs convey a bitterness about almost anything a person could be bitter about--death, frustrated sex, lost lovers, futile dreams, old age. The songs show us lonely, defeated people who have been hurt so many times by others that all they can do is dream inefficacious dreams and retreat into...
