...with especial care for she (the grant specified a female) would be the first woman professor in Harvard's history. The lady chosen had to be both outstanding in her field and vigorous enough to make her way in a strictly masculine universe.

And at an age when most scholars are remembering their earlier inspirations with...
Updike got him, though, and Updike's an honorable man. His "Supply is Unlimited" is excellent, and didn't he make poor Helen Traubel look silly. Good old Updike...but we can't rely on him much longer, so I would suggest grooming some of the other editors, like Limpert for instance.

He loves a High land lassie, Helen Mary (Glynis Johns), but hesitates to marry her as long as he is fighting the English. Against them he wages a brilliant guerrilla war that finally discredits the British Secretary of State for Scotland, the cruel Duke of Montrose (Michael Gough), and brings a true Scottish patriot, the Duke of Argyll (James Robertson Justice) back to power. In the end, Rob, his bagpiper and his sword...
