...writing to express my grave disappointment with the opinion Professor Harvey Mansfield expressed in the October 23 Crimson article, "Faculty Vote Nears on Plan to Create a Concentration in Women's Studies." Though previously apathetic towards this proposition, I was none the less appalled by this senior faculty member's insensitivity and apparent lack of consideration over this important issue...
...That means, according to the hotel, that 195,000 folks showed up at the Waldorf to put on the ritz. "The intensity of private fund-raising dinners, due to Government cutbacks, has increased and thus the increase in black-tie events," explains Waldorf Catering Director Lawrence Harvey. "In my set," says New York City Socialite Mrs. Thayer Gilpatric, "the tuxedo never went out." A century ago, however, the tuxedo almost got kicked out of Gilpatric's set. Griswold Lorillard -- scion, as social columnists would put it, of the tobacco Lorillards -- showed up in the rarefied regions of the country club...
...Lying Woman (Jo Harvey Allen) leans across the restaurant table and confides that the reason for her amazing psychic powers is that she was born with a tail. Yes! Her mamma had it surgically removed and kept it in the medicine cabinet, "right between the 4-Way Cold Tablets and the monkey blood."

When Lichtenstein courageously produced Wilson's The Life and Times of Sigmund Freud in 1969, few thought Wilson's glacially paced musings would be the stuff of box-office success. But when Glass's opera about the early life of Gandhi, Satyagraha, unexpectedly...
Byrne in person is unassuming and unprepossessing, a still, shrewd presence. "I've seen David in a room full of people, acting like he was reading the newspaper," says Jo Harvey Allen, who enlivens the movie with her periodic appearances as the Lying Woman. "Two weeks later, he would make some comment about who said what, some tiny detail. He doesn't miss anything." On screen, as True Stories' Narrator chatting to the camera or wandering through the action in a red Chrysler convertible, there is something both warming and ominous about him. The voice, maybe: flat, arrhythmic, dispensing stream...
