...movie makes a half-hearted and half-hearted attempt to portray the shallowness of sensual liberation in unliberated society and especially the problems of shooting sex in the movies. The lovers are obviously unexcited by screwing before palaces, in trees, streams, and fields in more positions than anyone except Albert Ellis knew existed...
...team got a boost yesterday, however. Midfielder Bruce Regan was elected as next year's captain. When Harvard was behind this spring, Regan was usually part of the small corps that brought the Crimson roaring back. It was like the cavalry coming to the rescue in Rin Tin Tin, except in Rin Tin Tin it was never too late--it often was too late in Harvard lacrosse games this spring.

...outrageous hoax, perpetrated on everyone with sensibilities by some anonymous "Biggies." So it is also with the military-industrial complex, which Kunen can only talk about with the elaborate fantasy of "The Big Letter" which he expects may arrive any day -- "I wasn't sure what it would be, except that it would be a directive or executive order from my superior telling me to do something."

...common to other manual laborers, there is a deeper sense of futility among firefighters. They are flown to some corner of the wilderness and told to work long hours and risk their lives to save a few trees that no one will probably see for decades to come, except from the air. They also argue that since most of the isolated fires they combat are started by lightning (75 per cent actually are) why not let them burn, as fires have for centuries? Many biologists are now asking the same question...
