...Administration decides to continue its hyper-hands-off football policy, then certain things must be done. First, we should play only the three traditional Ivy rivals, Yale, Princeton, and Dartmouth, and pad the rest of the schedule with Amherst, Connecticut, and N.Y.U. Under this system we could easily achieve a season record which could always be better than .500. Unfortunately, since Dartmouth, Princeton, and Yale are already out beating the bushes for young football players, we suspect that our traditional rivals will win about 75% of those games...
...Rogue's regiment" is a pretty poor slice of life in the raw. The plot is hyper-complicated, provides for but one pier six brawl, and leaves enough loose ends around to knit a pair of argyle socks. People are killed aimlessly for the sheer desire to spill gore, the heroine is permitted to warble a couple of songs, and there are even a couple of inscrutable references to the Russians.

His Ravel, and even more strikingly, his Chopin have a neat, precise touch that makes them sound almost Classical to ears accustomed to the rather hyper-poetical treatment of many better known pianists, such as his former teacher. On the other hand, his beautiful feeling for the earlier composers. Bach, Scarlatti, and Mozart--has been widely and justifiably acclaimed. He is already under contract to Columbia to record the complete works of Chopin. Also...
