...gives a firm phonetic grounding and follows up with stories that bug a child's eyes out. Kids can read of a Cruel Boy who pulled the legs from flies, a Kind Boy who freed his caged bird, a Tease who frightened a playmate into insanity. The books excerpt Shakespeare, Byron, Scott and Whittier; McGuffey's great characters are Napoleon, Louis XVI. Lafayette and Washington. And William Holmes McGuffey (1800-73), an Ohio minister and schoolmaster, never spared the verse...
...Dunster House Drama Workshop has anticipated my feeling (more precisely, my lack of feeling) about Caligula; they quote in their program an excerpt from Camus' preface to the play, "...I look in vain for philosophy in these four acts." I look in vain for drama. Camus wrote Caligula in 1938, when he was twenty-five years old; and what interested him were the implications of dictatorship. It is to his eternal credit that he gave his villain all the best lines, all the most telling arguments. Desire for absolute power may be a form of madness, but to turn Caligula...
Doubtless, scores of T. S. Eliot devotees, not to mention old T.S. himself, have taken offense at the unenviable status accorded him by your inapplicable excerpt from The Love Song of J.

It is read extensively for pleasure, and used extensively for research...
Ends: Dan La Rose, 21, Missouri; 6 ft. 4 in., 221 Ibs. Mike Ditka, 21, Pittsburgh; 6 ft. 3 in., 218 Ibs. Excerpt from a scout's report on Ditka: "Pound for pound, as fine a college player as there is in the U.S." On LaRose: "Great man at rushing the passer and blocking kicks." In addition, the scouts rate Indiana's solid (6 ft. 5 in., 240 Ibs.) Earl Faison as a promising defensive end ("Just an animal charging in there"), and, because of his pass-catching skills, the pros are thinking of making an offensive...
