...title role of the Framingham production, and his stage presence and delivery of the songs are able and sometimes compelling. He does, however, fail to capture the essential coarseness of the hero. Irene Manning very effectively portrays the aging Vera Simpson, in her progress into and out of a hopeless love affair. Karen Thorsell as Linda makes the most of the least individual character in the play, and Mara Lynn brings a wonderful, brassy professionalism to the role of Fladys Bumps.

The layman will not find interesting vignettes or case studies about the intriguing and difficult task of running a university. And faculties already know everything there is to know about running a university. Strangely, trustees of educational institutions can profit most from Dodd's study. In addition to cogent advice on their own conduct and their relationship with the president, trustees will find new insights into the character...
...baby clothes, starts her eating properly for two, goes to the clinic for a stack of diapers and a doll to practice on. But all too soon the idyl ends. The old hen comes home to roost, the flit flies the coop, the heroine is left to hatch a hopeless future...
