...Elsewhere, at times, the main story is wordy and under-dramatized. Despite Rosemary Harris' period appeal as the wife, the flashbacks seem inadequate, do more to catch a half-legendary Jazz Age mood than to explain a disintegrating writer.

It must convey someone the more disenchanted for having first been so strangely romantic, and it might well suggest...
Since 1923. when Stratton took his degree in electrical engineering at M.I.T.. the Cambridge school has almost wholly altered its character. That year M.I.T. spent something more than $2,000,000 at its specialty: turning out high-quality engineers.

Even Publisher Crornie did not get off Scott-free. The Sun ran a three-part analysis of Vancouver's faltering Community Chest, which Cromie headed last year...
...lanky, well-muscled Negro made a high, spread-eagle leap, grabbed the ball and cleared the University of Cincinnati backboard. Whirling in the air before he hit the floor, he sped downcourt, dribbled expertly past three New York University defenders, plowed in and sank a difficult lay-up shot. Moments later, with the ball in his hands once again, he started to turn for a hook shot. Hit hard by an N.Y.U. player, he fell heavily to the court, but on the way down he somehow managed to arch the ball toward the basket with a flick of his powerful...
