...public relations for the administration. Students have little or no part in determining CRR policy. Most important, of course, is the policy which had already been decided by the legislation empowering the CRR to punish only students. But even the CRR policy about its procedures is the handiwork of its faculty members...
...particularly the last chapter of the book, is stunning. And his collation of the letters, diaries, and journals with the poems provide some striking insights: the actual events which led to "The Emperor of Ice Cream" and "The Ordinary Women," when juxtaposed with the texts, makes for exciting critical handiwork. But what one asks most from the biography-the anecdotes, the psychology, the flesh, the sheer literary gossip which would go a long way toward taking Stevens out of the half-light of his insurance office-is missing.

NBC's The Debbie Reynolds Show, for example, is an instant rerun of I Love Lucy, and small wonder; it is the handiwork of Lucy Producer Jess Oppenheimer. The only reason Debbie doesn't scheme to get into show business like her husband is that Debbie's husband Lew (Don Chastain) happens to be in the newspaper business. The only reason Debbie does not pose as a drummer auditioning for a band is that she happens...
