...titillating voice told of "cinemactresses," or "great and good friends" (TIME code for lovers) or other uber-brat coinages. When Wallis Warfield Simpson, having lured Edward VIII from the throne of England, was named TIME's Woman of the Year for 1936--a year in which Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini and Mao were all on the march and F.D.R. was elected in a landslide to a second term--TIME the titillator delivered this quote: "'My, my!' sighed [Argentine] Ambassador [Felipe] Espil to swank U.S. friends last summer, 'who would ever have dreamed that our Little Wallis would ever be where...
Fred W. Friendly, the esteemed former CBS News president who collaborated with Edward R. Murrow on some of TV's most groundbreaking documentaries, died Tuesday in New York after a series of strokes. He was 82. Friendly was the behind-the-scenes force on such documentaries as "Harvest of Shame" in 1961, about migrant farm workers, and the Murrow "See It Now" report that hastened the downfall of Sen.

In those days, urban...
...spoken in the mustiest hall of the British establishment would have given their lordships seizures a while back. But now her majesty is the very model of a modern European monarch -- she pays taxes, invites tourists into her home and dishes out knighthoods to rock stars. Her great-grandfather Edward VII, who would have lost the throne to his sister under the new rule, must be doing cartwheels in his grave...
...agree with many of the sentiments expressed by Edward G. Smith '97 on acquaintance rape (Opinion, Feb. 23), although I feel the likening of rape to murder is indefensibly extreme. Where I disagree with him most pointedly, however, is in his dismissal of the debate over The Crimson's coverage of the arrest of Joshua M. Elster '00. Smith claims that this debate is "misdirected," taking our attention away from the issue of campus rape itself, which he seems to feel is the only real problem to come to light following Elster's arrest...
