...westerns of yesterday. Taken from Paul Morgan's engrossing historical novel, which told how U.S. cavalrymen in the 1880s subdued one of the last powerful Apache chiefs, the movie plays down the drama of the great Southwest, plays up three bright young faces from Beverly Hills. All that fuss about redskins seems picayune compared with the plight of Lieut. Troy Donahue. Setting femmes aflutter at Fort Delivery, Ariz., Troy bestrides a flesh-and-blood horse, but his acting is appropriately wooden.

It could only be presumed that Kennedy was zeroing in on the safe-motorists' vote...
Since leaving Cambridge in 1941 I have devoted myself to the study and practice of medicine with particular emphasis on gynecological and obstetrical pathology. It has been my experience that public officials tend to make a great deal of fuss about what is, after all, the exfoliation of a very modest amount of stratified, squamous epithellum. I trust that I am not so scleroic that I cannot side with hot-blooded undergradu ates on this issue. Each man and woman should be guided by his or her individual conscience, nothing more. William B.
