Another old-fashioned innovation is that the leads can sing. Heroine Barbara Cook is fresher than springtime. Hero Daniel Massey (the son of Raymond) is greener than first love. Hesitant, ardent, naive, highhearted, he sets the fairytale mood of a show that has to make players and playgoers alike forget the false face of logic. The plot is only a paperweight designed to keep the airy goings-on from blowing away completely...
...last week, as the consequence of a show put up in his old Paris home (now a state museum) to mark the looth anniversary of the publication of Les Miserables, Parisians were belatedly discovering Hugo as an artist. And to many, his paintings and drawings seemed fresher than the chapters on chapters on chapters of that novel...

But the brains behind the tanned, healthy faces are getting sharper than the curriculum, which needs revision to fit them. The untaxing overseas courses, for example, are often labeled "inane." Humanities need to be put on a par with science. Stanford's new boys and girls also chafe at Stanford's quaint old ways. Liquor is banned and so is "partisan politics," which means that Nixon and Brown...
