Most colleges officially frown on student sex on campus but handle the matter by looking the other way. Not so the Merchant Marine Academy, which classifies copulation in the barracks as conduct unbecoming and worthy of dismissal...
...major seminaries (the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth is the world's largest denominationally affiliated institution of its kind, with a student body of 3,470).

...Burt Reynolds, her partners in crime, are like Tracy and Gable, fast friends and occasional antagonists, both in love with Claire. These three amorous buddies run booze up the California coast from Mexico, playing cat-and-mouse with the Coast Guard and doing battle with the Mob boys who frown on independent action. They get rich and get shot at, sometimes all at once. This splendidly impossible sort of life is precarious and, as a consequence, exhilarating...
