Whatever its resemblances to Williams' other plays, the play he meant to write in Slimmer and Smoke is easy to approve of. The only trouble is, he has not written it. It remains only a lucid diagram. Summer and Smoke has moments of sad, sharp insight, but little coherence and intensity as a whole. The reason is partly structural. In none of his plays has Tennessee Williams made a classic frontal assault on drama. Writing episodically, with tricks of stagecraft and a crutchlike use of offstage music, he has always trusted to a vague sense of poetry...
...pair of tickets either in section 35, 36, or 37 or in the colonnade (now marked for overflow freshmen and graduate students). This year, for the first time, Harvard undergraduates, with or without female companions, will be seated according to their academic class. The above diagram is HAA director William J. Bingham's best guess as to how the new seating plan will work out. If any one class takes up less space than anticipated, however, the lower classes will move up accordingly. The top part of the stands, marked on the map for overflow Freshmen and graduate students...

...budding modems were equally impressive. An abstraction that looked like a diagram of ballet positions for a dancing telephone, by Black Mountain's Ruth Asawa, was the. exhibition's high point in originality. Another girl student-Helen Kae Carter of Iowa State-sent a successfully elaborate still life of kitchen utensils hanging in midair; it was the happily screwball kind of experiment that professionals, with livings to make, seldom get around to. Philip Ciotti of the Carnegie Institute had explored the thin world between abstraction and reality to produce his weird, orange Newspaper Office (see cut). The result...
After a race, Davison would take Eddie aside to diagram his mistakes. He showed Arcaro how he lost distance by swinging wide to go around two horses on a turn; low he risked being run into the rail by trying to squeeze through on the inside of a front rider. He formulated it into a rule that Eddie still works by: "Never go outside of two or inside of one." Davison was insistent about never losing ground; it cost Arcaro one spill after another, trying to squeeze through between horses. The first bad tumble he had was from a plater...
