...Actress Vitti's jumpy, hyper-tense performance as an almost clinical study of neurosis. She is inspiringly alienated, for that sturdy cliché dissolves into a rich flow of images that astonish the eye. At one moment, a street scene goes entirely grey-including a vendor, his cart, fruit and all. When Vitti awakes in panic at night to find a toy robot clacking around her glacially modern home as though it had a will of its own, the very walls become terrifying abstractions. And her fear of separateness is made subtly palpable on the quay where a mist...
There are signs of growing concern within the Administration over the inferior quality of teaching, a chronic undergraduate complaint. By 1966, the new teaching fellowships instituted by Dean Ford last year should begin to improve the quality of section men.

Beside the fasters were handy slices of fruit and glasses of pale, cold tea, prompting a young monk to explain that liquid was "allowed." As for the fruit-well, er, uh, no comment...

Finials, banderoles, and swags of fruit and flowers appeared, to give essentially stiff, straight-backed woodwork an animate touch. Table and chair legs ceased to butt into the floor, instead rested on gentler bun feet, but H-form stretchers low to the floor held the frames rigidly intact. Furniture of walnut and ebony supplanted oak because these woods take on a finer finish...
