...While they were having their theses postponed, I was up all night typing an overdue anthropology paper. While they were getting money from Daddy, I was hurrying to my Saturday job. While they were uncommitted to a future career, I was unsuccessfully seeking a full-time job. Isn't all this responsibility dull...
...comment of Western Reserve University students that Case Institute of Technology engineers were "plumbers" was noted here by management and journeymen with less than enthusiasm. The local union scale is $5 hourly. The take-home of the plumber isn't something to be ridiculed, being $10,400 annually, less fringes.

People ask Bob Dylan if he has a message and what it is. Sure, try asking Robert Lowell if he has a message, he won't want to talk to you. Bob Dylan's message (what he says, sings, writes) isn't any one particular idea. That is to say: sometimes he's saying man's so sinister that he's even written it into his bible, The Bible; and sometimes Dylan's talking civil rights, or sometimes he's talking about the way some people (like him) are living...
