...reliability. She offered a narrow world, not sentimentalized, but comfortable in its coherence. Characters slipped along easily from book to book, much as they do in the vaster schemes of Trollope. In Crampton Hodnet (written around 1940 but prepared for publication only now by Pym's literary executor), one comes upon two old friends from Jane and Prudence (1953), tyrannical old Miss Doggett and her younger paid companion, the self-effacing Miss Morrow. Their props and surroundings are familiar too: the excellent women "full of good sense," the pampered Anglican priests, the warmth of a musquash coat, the bedtime balm...
According to Story Professor of the Law School Arthur Von Mehrew, who is executor of Nadelmann's will, the endowment will probably be used to fund visiting scholars, conferences, publications, travel, and general research in the area of conflict of laws. He added, however, "There hasn't really been any thinking about that...
...illegal sleaziness was rarely, if ever, mentioned. But there is no denying that visions of such accusations were at least thought about. Legal sleaze, on the other hand, was suspected in some of Mr. Zaccaro's business affairs, in particular when he borrowed money from an estate as its executor.

Stillman '40, his son and the executor of his estate, contends that his father and Harvard agreed that the trust would finance Black Rock, with any surplus going to the Harvard Forest in Petersham, Mass. The younger Stillman concedes that there are no written, legal contracts to this effect, but claims his father had extensive correspondence and numerous oral agreements with Harvard President James B. Conant '14 and Treasurer Paul Cabot '21 where that was made...
...right side of his body. The semitranssexual dilemma is no miracle of genetic engineering but rather a goof-up of Oriental mysticism. Seems that Roger, a 38-year-old lawyer drifting through a mediocre career and toward a no-thrills marriage with the boss's daughter, was named executor of the estate of Edwina Cutwater (Lily Tomlin), one of the world's richest, coldest, frailest and ditsiest women. Edwina had engaged the services of a swami, sect undetermined, to transfer her mind and soul at the moment of death into the healthy body of Terry (Victoria Tennant...
