Here, then, is the picture on Saturday afternoon, when huge crowds are besieging the New Haven Street Railway. Travelling in large groups, the Elis attack the waiting streetcar in flying wedge formation and contrive to place their dates in some available seat. They then retire to the outer extremities of the car and seize upon some handy appendage from which they hang for the rest of the ride. As this handy appendage is frequently the collar of another Eli who in turn is hanging over the side of the car, it is possible to make the mile and a half...
...little Blue flag has gone astray . . . and Daniel P. S. Paul '46 wants it returned immediately by the pranksters who "borrowed" it--a huge Eli banner--from Memorial Hall. "It was loaned to us by the Yale Corporation as decoration for the Law School dance," explained Paul. "If it's returned to Wigglesworth A-22 or to Phillips Brooks House, the Law School won't prosecute...

For the man, the woman and the child this picture is a Pieta without grief, an entombment without mourners, a requiem without pomp...
...pressure of trying to remember a night lost when he was drugged, makes a phantoin scene of great tension and force. But the rest of the picture is anticlimactic. It's all about O'Brien's efforts to clear himself of a murder while simultaneously busting open a huge fraud having to do with forgeries of great art masterpieces. This is the sort of thing that Humphrey Bogart shows up in every year or two, to everybody's huge delight, but the aging O'Brien isn't quite in the same league when it comes to evading cops and prowling...
