...Oliver Wendell Holmes Lectures at the Law School here last week. "Cambridge still feels like home," Kaysen remarked last week during his two-day stay, but at just-48, he has lots of time to get used to Princeton. And he is excited about launching his new school: "I expect it to make a contribution to the way the subject develops. We'll begin with an idea and a few scholars, and see what happens--just the way the Institute began...
Unlike France, thinks Rees, England has lacked a novelist of the stature of Proust to make the homme-femme a credible figure in English society. Nor does he expect a rash of revelations to follow his disclosure. "This is a frightfully sensitive subject," he says, "and those people who are most able to say are the least likely to do so."

But Hunter bores into Chapman's belligerent face, the frozen glance breaks, cheeks and lips contort, shiver in embarrassment. The patient camera has cut into the soft ludicrous center of his tough resolve...
...Twelvetrees loping down the street toward Blaine--as the dialogue runs. (Unfortunately he didn't shoot the junkyard encounter between the two in the same way; we must suffer through a long silent discussion.) Enough of mechanics, however. The unsynchronized dialogue adds to Dream. Words when we don't expect them, silence when we do--it slips another strange note into Desire's distortion...
