Latin Brio. The neo-pagan life of love and love of life revealed to Carmela in these reveries make The Film of Memory a sensuous shelfmate to David Garnett's recently published Aspects of Love (TIME, Jan. 30). French Novelist Maurice Druon, a Prix Goncourt winner, applies Latin brio and an urbane Gallic prose style to his tale, and he can navigate the rapids of a zany stream of consciousness without drowning the reader...

Perhaps in the fall the average reader will get a go at it in a cheaper edition. He may well wonder what all the fuss was about...
...return some of the College's funds to the treasury. This incident drove the Corporation into seeking financial security and John Lowell, described as a "solid man of Boston," was appointed as a fellow in 1784. No more tutors or scholars were appointed after the resignation of Caleb Garnett in 1789. In this way the character of the Corporation changed from scholarly, as first intended, to financial, and its members were no longer full-time residents of the College...
