...GOLDEN YOUTH OF LEE PRINCE, by Aubrey Goodman (344 pp.; Simon & Schuster; $4.50), belies the gloom criers who think that U.S. youth consists entirely of beard bearers on one hand and IBM trainees on the other. There are still gold-hatted, high-bouncing young men who know their way to the washroom in the Union Club. In his resplendently gold-jacketed first novel, Yaleman Goodman, 23, lists a few undergraduate acolytes who keep the torch flaming: "Lawlor Reck, who had won the Charleston contest at the Everglades Club in Florida for six years running . . . one of the Du Pont boys...

...bottom level of the main gallery, the collection is allowed to dribble off to nowhere. I'll add one good note about the exhibition's installation: two incredibly large and mildly good Van Goyens have been sent over to the Fogg where they are suitably scaled in size and gloom to the second floor gallery arcade. In all, though, I'm afraid that I'll just have to fall back on local pundit-philosopher S. Marshall Cohen's Confucius Say about the Harvard museum situation: "One in the Fogg is worth two in the Busch."PICASSO: La Femme au Chignon...

...Hollywood Toynbees like the start of a new cycle. Every so often, of course, a new ruler must move in to take over from tired hands and smile-weary faces, for Hollywood panders to every man's daydream of eternal youth. The guy in the air-cooled gloom of the theater grows older every year, but his dream girl is the same age always. The surprise is not that Shirley has moved to the top, but that she has been able to do it on her own terms without cheesecake, without studio supervised romances, even without a swimming pool...

...season gloom was, however, suddenly dispelled by a highly successful trip South, during the spring recess. The varsity won three of four games played on this tour, and several new men performed with a competence not before suspected of them. When the squad returned to Cambridge, hopes for it had risen so high that even an Eastern League pennant seemed within the bounds of possibility...

...business booms for Sanson and his brother builders, conservative economists gloom over the facts and figures of what seems to promise serious economic trouble. The cost of living has vaulted 365% since 1948, 27% in the past two years. More than 120 billion cruzeiros, each worth four-fifths of a cent at the free-exchange rate, are bursting pocketbooks (v. only 20.5 billion, each worth 5.4?, ten years ago). From a $248 million foreign-trade gain in 1956, Brazil plummeted into a $97 million loss in 1957, a $166 million loss in 1958. Loan interest, loan repayments and massive installments...
