Peterson calls the docket system "a kind of quota based on the excellence of the boys involved." While it no doubt favors such places as Exeter and Andover, Peterson believes that "Harvard should maintain a Yankee flavor, and besides, schools like these were themselves selective in choosing their students." Dana M. Cotton, the senior member of the admissions committee with 23 years under his belt, points out that Exeter and Andover are not supplying as many Harvard students as they used to, "which the headmasters there understand but which is difficult to explain to a parent who sent...
...FUNNY, the way Martin talked himself out of having a good time on that date. Delighted with himself, he had gone back to his room and had plopped into the armchair, all set to fantasize endlessly about this new girl. Susan. There was no doubt about it: she was tough.

He got it, Pearson no doubt sensing in Anderson the virtues he most revered in himself: industry, uprightness, zeal...
Relevant Antiquity. Fellini and Cinematographer Giuseppe Rotunno (who also shot Toby Dammit) used tons of smoke, incense and cement dust to reproduce a sense of murky antiquity. Yet there is little doubt that, in scenes like the death of a patrician couple who prefer suicide to inevitable political assassination, Fellini is attempting to render this vast fresco as a giant metaphor for the 1960s. "If Petronius' work is a full-blooded description of the atmosphere of those times," Fellini admits, "the film that I adapted from it is a panorama, an allegorical satire of our present-day world...
