Then Parpalaid, disillusioned with city life, returns only to find his favorite hangout, the village hotel, now turned into a bustling hospital. Parpalaid begs Knock to reveal his secret, which is what the charlatan terms the "science of medicine." Romains is deadly serious in his concern with modern man's susceptibility to pseudo-scientific worship, and Knock's final manipulations of Parpalaid result in an ironic and completely unsentimental ending...
...students spontaneously adopt American mannerisms: they dress in the casual Midwestern collegiate style, sip Cokes and malteds at a hangout called Uncle Sam's, annually elect a Miss A.U.B., a Miss Lebanon, and a May Queen. But beneath these superficial Americanisms, the fever of Arab nationalism seethes in every corner of the campus. "My friends," says one student, "are interested in two things: politics and sex, and sex comes in a poor second." Professors estimate that while only a handful (about 20) are Communists, at least 60% of the student body are violently pro-Nasser, and almost all support...

After his short stop in Paris, he headed by train for Rome. Rolling through northern Italy, Democrat Truman grinned wryly at big regional election posters urging, "Vote Republican!" Boisterously cheered with many a "Viva Truman!" at Rome's railroad...
Dulce est periculum seems a rather extreme motto for a publication as mild and retiring as the Advocate. Usually considered a hangout for the "esthetes," sometimes not considered at all, the Advocate at present is a literary magazine in the strictest sense. Its primary aim, according to John Ratte '57, the president, is to "print the best of undergraduate writing, whether experimental or in a traditional form." But this is only a very recent development in the 90-year history of the magazine. Each board has its own special point of view, and at times the editors have really appeared...
