André Malraux is a mysterious fellow -a natural-born actor who saved his histrionics for real life, a novelist who fashioned his books out of the materials of history and wrote himself into most of them in roles he actually played. So multi-chaptered is his life, in fact, and so intermixed is it with the events of his times that no adequate accounting could be contained within one book.

...flights of impenetrable Gallic rhetoric. The book includes part of an early novel, some narrative accounts of his adventures in the French Resistance and elsewhere, and long replays of longer interviews with Mao Tse-tung and Nehru, both of whom he visited in 1965 not only as a former fellow revolutionary but as an informal emissary from De Gaulle...

"In certain incidents, it really looks like girls in the dorm are doing it. This is where keys would be really helpful," Elisabeth M. Sopka '70, Cabot president, said yesterday...
