...Gross, Overcooked, Smoky. His lightly edited copy, which he clicks off in a half-hour per column, is primarily for those who make haute cuisine a hobby. The weekly thumbnail sketches he does on three restaurants are a guide for everyone who likes to eat well when they are out on the town. To keep up to date, Claiborne often tries two different places a day. He awards up to four stars, does not even deign to write about a restaurant "if there is more than 50% wrong with...
...long since concluded that New York is a vastly disappointing restaurant town, and the higher a restaurant's reputation the more demanding he seems to be. Said he of Voisin this year: "The egg en gelée was gross, the shrimp marseillaise was overcooked, although in an excellent spiced sauce, and the grilled sweetbreads Rose Marie tasted unpleasantly of smoke." The Colony, he says, can be worse. Best in the city, he insists, is Henri Soulé's Le Pavilion, followed by Joe Kennedy's favorite, La Caravelle. But the man from the Times...

(Most aspiring psychiatrists feel cheated throughout their "undergraduate" years at the Medical School.) All of these courses demand your presence in long lectures and labs, two educational devices of questionable value in which Harvard has unending faith. Small-group instruction, when available, is usually effective; lectures, on the other hand, tend to obscure general principles of their subject and confuse students with welters of detail. In general, professors...
...cars are due to be scrapped in the next twelve months, while the rich market of Americans aged 16 to 20 will bulge at 12.5 million. The typical family can certainly afford a new car-or two. In the past year, the nation's gross national product has increased 6.5%, personal income has jumped 7% and industrial production has climbed 8%. Their instincts as well as their computers tell Detroiters that the industry will be selling 10 million cars a year by 1970, and 12 million...
