...scheme that cast a fine pink glow over the grim, grey postwar world. Foreign women who were genuinely in love with U.S. soldiers were assured a wonderful wedding gift, foreign adventuresses were so inspired that whole battalions of G.I.s came to rank themselves with Casanova and Don Juan. In all by December an estimated 112,000 brides, husbands and children had come from overseas to share the good life in Boston, Paducah, and Walla Walla, Wash...
Last week he laced his shots toward selected spots-to the right of the caddy, then to the left, then beyond. It was the same grim ritual on the putting green, the part of golf that the swinger in Hogan still dislikes. Says he: "Putting is foreign to the rest of the game. One of them should be called golf and the other something else." He put in long practice "tapping" the ball (for short putts) and "rolling" it (for long ones).

The concept of God, argues Sartre, is an irrational delusion. To find happiness, each man must act to free himself from the brutalities of his environment; but, awful paradox, he cannot act until he is free...
...more that people. Shades of Aunt Hagar and Sister. Kate filtered through the smoke and a lil ol' muskrat rambled in. For two solid hours in that staid Lowell House cubicle there were ladies of the new Orleans evening and the stale smell of K.C. gin. But for the grim visage of Abbot Lawrence Lowell above the fireplace it might have been any backroom in Chicago back in the days when Cicero was Cicero and not an essay in Life magazine...
