...native grounds again, House dining halls are the final place for undergraduates to meet their betters. The College knows this, and so makes it easy for great men and little men to eat there. Yet the Innocent finds it farcical: on one hand, the great humanist waddles down to feed his face at a staff dinner once a year; on the other, the famous writer-professor who comes to the dining hall and surmounts all to say "may I join you?" to two students, sits down, and finds himself at an empty table looking at their departing backs...
...Innocent is sure to write continuously about problems like those of the Admissions Office. If enough good men turn down Dean Bender's job, it might be tempting for the University to remove this policy slot from the deanery-beanery and feed it in little pieces to sweet-breathed administrators. To avoid this, and insure that the job remain a key policy position, the Innocent might even ask the Dean of Harvard College to give up a job which, qua job, can often be of marginal importance, and a $125,000 home, to step into the Admissions Office, like...

Instead of looting and marching on, he suggests, why should not the soldiers quarter...
...Veronica. But between bedroom and seaside trysts, Jack runs through flashbacks of Wife No. 1, a no-talent Greenwich Village actress, and Wife No. 2, an all-talents Hollywood star and nymphomaniac. When Veronica's boy friend shows up with a knife, Shaw stirs up enough plot to feed parts to an army of extras, expertly guides readers through a movie-colonist's Rome, febrile with sex and chicanery. He sauces his book with piquant if dubious notions, e.g., that the Sistine Chapel proves that Michelangelo's only God was Michelangelo. But like children tottering with grown...
