Hunch material can be found almost anywhere. One applicant in the early sixties, for example, concluded his autobiographical essay with the sentence, "I aspire to become a student at Harvard so that I may live and work with the creme de la creme." That young man from Illinois had an academic rating of 2, and achievement scores over 780 in both American History and Chemistry. But his personal rating was 4, and he was rejected. "That kind of phrase can ruin you," Peterson says...
Blitman asks for an extra thick shake and a creme-filled chocolate Ring Ding. He is punched for forty cents. Although he doesn't like Hazen's much, Blitman does get a big kick out of the way his plastic sanitary straw stands straight up in his shake. And he likes to observe the teen-bopper subculture in action. At night, Hazen's absorbs the Bartley crowd. During the weekdays, it becomes a Cambridge streetcorner moved indoors, a refuge for the lustful, sallow, acne-splattered teen set.

The first issues had too much social commentary ("you can get that any place") and literary criticism ("it's like hair creme -- greasy and it smells bad") for Kuttner's taste. His will be exclusively prose fiction and poetry...
...newspaper strike, this exhibition of Durer and his Time has not received the publicity it deserves. Unfortunately, many Bostonians will miss the show. These 150 drawings, on loan from Berlin's Staatliche Museum, are the creme off the top of one of the world's finest collections of German drawing. Furthermore, the selection and hanging are a model of curatorial skill. Their arrangement successfully emphaisizes the traditions these artists worked within and their influences upon each other
