Caught between these dissimilar if not entirely disjunctive roles, this issue of the Review attempts to comment generally on undergraduate education with particular reference to Harvard, and with results which are for the most part vaguely unsatisfying. Editor David M. Gordon had a noble conception. As he correctly observes in the Introduction, collegiate education is an exciting, relevant, and vital topic, the Doty Report and the Faculty debate notwithstanding. In contrast to the stultifying and unproductive dialogue to which the community has been subjected during the past year, he hoped to present nothing less than a discussion of the quality...
...sisters could hardly be more dissimilar-on or off the slopes. Christine's skiing form is immaculate: body bent in the classic "comma" position, skis and poles perfectly controlled, she is the picture of grace as she zigzags through the slalom gates, rarely even brushing the marker poles.

Euripedes' The Trojan Women (at the Circle in the Square), inspired by the Athenians' attack on Delos, is probably still close to flawless even though Mildred Dunnock has left the cast. Directed and choreographed by Michael Cacoyannis, the production includes an outstanding musical score by the modern Greek composer Jean Prodromides...
...Europe, 1964 promises to go down as a rare vintage year for movie actresses. The new Sylvas, Sophies and Sentas not only have body; they show as well the promise of potential fame. Individually, they are as dissimilar as Chianti, Burgundy and Liebfraumilch. What they have in common is training, intelligence and talent. They...
