...Loeb has a reputation for cliquishness that persists year after year. The other day one Cliffe was overheard warning another who had just been cast in a mainstage production, "Just don't become a Loebie." And as a freshman I was warned against the evils of the "in-group," which supposedly would not let a newcomer rise above the level of 3rd assistant prop...
...bloc trade routes for years, of course, but never have its excursions been quite so bold. At stake in the London confrontation are shipping revenues of about $192 million a year, which are now shared by the Italian, French, West German, Dutch, Scandinavian and British lines that form the in-group serving trade routes between Europe and Australia.

A new $600 million educational plant, designed by the architectural firm of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, is on the drawing boards, and an impressive and often highly unconventional faculty has been assembled. In-group theatrical circles now know Buffalo equally well: it has a two-year-old, better-than-average repertory theater group...

He had, regardless of his apparent or real motives, introduced academic structure to production work, and reversed the positions of the in-group and the out-group. Now the only exiles were disgruntled elders...
