...Wiggins said yesterday that Sullivan "will receive more consideration than developers from other localities" to improve the corner of the Yards near the Treadway Motor Inn. If Harvard is able to buy the Yards, that corner will probably be given to Sullivan under a 40 year lease...
...fact, She Stoops To Conquer is clearly the work of a critic: for it is an elaborate construction designed to poke fun at middle-class "uplifting" comedy and celebrate the comic virtues of members of the "humbler stations." Goldsmith turns a worthy squire's home into an inn, and makes the "inn-keeper's" daughter impersonate a bar maid in order to win a shy suitor. (This gentleman, you see, is comfortable not with "women or reputation and virtue," but only in the company of "creatures of another stamp.")

...Spiky Little Towers." Goethe at first chats away like any tourist. There is no outhouse at one inn. The ruins of Herculaneum are a mess, and should have been "excavated methodically by German miners instead of being casually ransacked as if by brigands."

In 1950 Greenspun pleaded guilty to running arms to Israel, was fined $10,000, finally had his civil rights restored last year by President Kennedy. He long used the Sun in a vendetta against the late Senators Pat McCarran and Joseph McCarthy, once wrote a column in which he called McCarthy a "disreputable pervert." In taking on Sawyer, Greenspun would...
