What a life Singer Edith Piaf had! Born in the gutter, lived awhile in a cousin's whorehouse, discovered on a street corner. What a role to play! Brigitte Ariel, 19, a little-known French actress who has played mainly with provincial companies, was chosen for the film version of the bestselling biography by Simone Berteaut, the "Little Sparrow's" half sister. Brigitte, who was nine when Piaf died in 1963, has little in common with the megaphone-voiced singer except her height (4 ft. 11 in.). The songs will be dubbed in. About the part, Brigitte says...
...youthful staff (average age: 24) smile benignly. The expanded room service is designed to cater to pimpled artists who prefer milkshakes with their chateaubriands. The crazy has become so commonplace that during an Electric Light Orchestra party recently, a zonked-out groupie was propped up in the corner of an elevator and rode up and down for 90 minutes before her presence was reported...

And when she didn't find him she wanted to transfer to Wellesley. I think, now, that part of her attraction to me grew out of her thinking...
...Yale football game, simultaneously snatched fame and infamy from the miasma of Harvard athletic history. End-zone Crone, a man fading, pumping, scrambling with an effortless inviolability, zeroing in like a computerized homing pigeon, tightening and tightening the frantic gyre until he could settle to his knees on that corner of the Endzone,clutching a football with a pregnant, held sigh, heaving that sigh, and mumbling, "Here, at least, is a spot that will be forever Crone."
