...other day, at the invitation of Buildings and Grounds, a small party of students explored the underground world of Harvard. Our point of departure was the basement of Weld Hall, one of nine operating stations in the Tunnel system. There, we met the foreman of the Tunnel operating engineers, Mr. Floyd Kingsbury, who first showed us a map of the University in which were indicated the areas under the control of Buildings and Grounds. We noticed four large shaded areas and two small ones; Radcliffe, left unshaded, was clearly not part of things...

Only a few days after Melvin Belli was fired, Houston's wealthy Criminal Lawyer Percy Foreman, hired to replace Belli, got annoyed with family kibitzers and quit. To replace Foreman, Ruby's brothers and sister hired Professor Hubert Winston Smith, 56, head of the University of Texas law school's Law-Science Institute. Smith said he would charge no fee.

David hesitates a second and then debonairly replies, "We got a kid off the streets and paid him a quarter to do it," (After...
...cast fail to transform the criticially poor script. Miss De Carlo is nice to look at, but seems as silly as her lines. Alan Mowbray, who plays her father, is so bored he's boring. And Irving Jacobson, a strange combination of Eddie Cantor and Mr. Magoo, as Mr. Foreman, is as cliched a first generation imigrant as you'll ever want...
