Radcliffe could have drowned them all. But unfortunately the team was unable to attend the first New England Intercollegiates, held in Vermont. The race was held immediately after intercession, and the team was not organized. "Comparing cur times at Wellesley with the times of the Vermont winners, I think it is fair to say that we would have won," sighed Mrs. Alice McCabe, Director of Swimming and the team's coach...
...Game Is Over, which transposes a novel by Emile Zola (La Curée) into the present Paris scene, he gives them little else. Game tells the gamy tale of a hot young wife who commits incest with the hot young stepson (Peter McEnery) of her cold old husband (Michel Piccoli), and Vadim finds opportunities innumerable to show the world what a lucky man he is. Mrs. Vadim is exhibited stark naked in a bed of lust and rising from a garden pool like the White Rock girl. She also appears topless in a bathroom and bottomless under a hair...
Tension is set up most intensely in the sadic electricity that crackles between the principals.

The U.S., displaying more invention than intelligence, came up with Chappaqua, a booze-and-drug Upanishad displaying Allen Ginsberg, the poor man's Whitman. The festival scene had become...
...switch except that there has been "a basic disagreement concerning the advertising strategy that should be employed by Hertz in the U.S." Madison Avenue speculation is that Ally will drop the ever familiar "Let Hertz put you in the driver's seat" theme. Some of his cur rent campaigns have clearly been influenced by soft-selling Doyle Dane Bernbach, which developed Avis' underdog* theme. Among Ally clients are Horn & Hardart ("no frills"), Tensor Lamp ("little me") and Volvo ("small but tough"). Ally, however, insists that he is an adherent of no particular school: "I intend to anticipate...
