...handsome blond Orphan (Michael Glenn-Smith) has been expelled from a celestial garden, but he has brought with him the stained-glass eye of God, his personal token of hope in the essential goodness of things. He meets an Angel (crestfallen) with grave dark eyes. This lovely girl (Susan Watson) tells the Orphan that she is tired of being a Nobody and wants to be a Somebody. Together they meet Potemkin, a master of ceremonies and revelers, played with winning guile by Keith Charles. Potemkin tells the Orphan that he has read that God is dead, so survival has become...
...Keach looked virile and hungry, and Parsons had the amiably battered pliancy of a girl who knows she isn't getting any younger. As a result, the affair had a certain cozy credibility.

...with Harvard on Harvard's level. Maybe years ago it could, but not anymore." The BGMA has always chosen its bargainers from its own membership, but Harvard's personnel office, which bargains for "management," now has a staff of professionally trained negotiators. Union members come back from bargaining sessions crestfallen after having faced Harvard's representatives. They even tell of one management aide whose function it is to go plowing through a contract defining the exact meaning of each word, in every case to the benefit of the University. So some BGMA officers started looking around for another union that...
