...essentially non-coeducational in the latter two. The Harvard Radcliffe Policy Committee maintains that, while Harvard may be coeducational in its classes and in most of its extracurricular activities, the areas in which it is not coeducational are those in which the presence or absence of coeducation has the greatest effects upon students' lives...
...first album on Bowen's Amos label, to be released this month, may be his greatest coup yet. After years of trying, he finally managed to team Bing Crosby with a group of lank-haired backup musicians in a collection of rock and folk hits-for examples, the Beatles' Hey Jude and Judy Collins' Both Sides Now.

...touch of romance into millions of households. In smaller towns, especially, it was the prime medium of family entertainment. But it was more.

On Quennell's showing, it is clear that Pope, who once spoke of "that long disease, my life," shared in some measure Swift's notorious horror of life itself. In Swift's case, this amounted to a pathological detestation of the bodily functions intense enough to disable the Dean from physical expression of the love he felt for women. In Pope's case, it did not prevent him from trying to play the rake at large...
