...Eighteen months ago the F.W.A. set out to select those members with appropriate work experience to be considered for directorships. The purpose of the breakfast was to acquaint the corporate chiefs with some of them. Says Marilyn Brown, 41, also a candidate and president of her own consulting firm: "Our approach is to make ourselves available." The "available" group also included Lynn Salvage, 32, president of the First Women's Bank of New York; Julia M. Walsh, 55, chairman of Julia Walsh & Sons, a Washington brokerage firm; Suzanne Jane, 35, a partner at Century Capital Associates, an investment advisory...
...Eighteen years and one angst-guzzler later (Something Happened), Heller re-styles old reliable. Daneeka's catch-22 is now Potomac newspeak and the Doc himself is reincarnated as Ralph Newsome, a presidential aide who attempts to lure Bruce Gold, Ph.D., into Government service. Gold, a college professor, has caught the President's eye by favorably reviewing the Chief Executive's book, My Year in the White House, You can do and say anything you want, says Newsome, "as long as it's everything we tell you to say and do in support of our policies...

"It means a half million dollars and a whole year's work down the drain, plus all the fun we miss...

It is incongruous to us that while, on the one hand, they are expected to be on military call, they are not able to walk into a bar and have a drink...
January 21, 1970. Today I saw my first "Boats" final. Eighteen questions, choose four. If I remember correctly, question 7 asked you to spell Magellan correctly. I wondered why the class list of "Gas Stations" was identical to the eligibility list for the varsity football team. And yes, walking into Memorial Hall for Paul Freund's no longer given "Legal Process" (believe me, a gem), I looked around and actually thought I had walked into Dillon Field House by mistake.
