...drags out tormentedly "a favourite of my Morn and Dad's," are clearly getting a separate satisfaction out of their own behaviour. In fact so much of the performance is contributed from the auditorium that it is as hard to assess its merits as it is to explain its success. On the last score, the ostentatiously worn deaf aid should not perhaps be overlooked. It hints at a frailty bravely overcome, and stirs all kinds of half-realized compassions, particularly in those who forget that deaf aids can be had in much less conspicuous forms nowadays...
Less than a week later, Club President Doyle received a phone call from West Springfield, Mass. Charles Helmar, a carpet factory worker and Springfield public links champion, wanted to explain that he had been Roberts' partner in the Deepdale Calcutta. He had used the name Vitali, said Helmar, because Roberts had said that his partner Vitali was sick and the stunt would do no harm.

Today's match happens to be the game-of-the-season for the Bruins while the varsity faces the difficulty of being caught between its "big games."

The Administration's policy should be clear and precise and must attach a price to growth: maintenance of adequate facilities, including libraries and laboratories; avoidance...
...public forms fascinated Marsh. For sardonic effect he sometimes reproduced in his paintings Manhattan's steady flow of tabloid headlines (DOES THE SEX URGE EXPLAIN JUDGE CRATER'S STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE?). But above the litter and trash of the streets, Marsh saw in the full-blown women the galvanizing, poetic image of the city. He painted them as triumphant nudes, only incidentally clothed, proud symbols with painted, empty faces...
