...Undergraduate Council has conjured, out of thin air, an ex post facto restriction on the right of referendum. They have applied this imaginary limitation retroactively, to the petition that was signed by over 1,100 students. Council President Carey W.

Only a few months ago, one of the Russians explained apologetically, the hotel manager had been killed because he failed to show...

The time is 1974, and Max, who is fleeing from the wreckage of his first marriage, is a summer-house guest on Lake Como, where he encounters the two characters who will shape his life over the next 20 years: Charlie Swan, a Harvard classmate from the 1950s turned famous architect, whom Max remembers as the campus Lothario; and Toby, a poised and polymorphous teenager who is soon to become Charlie's protege...
