...Remarkable Women" wraps up with some uninspiring shots of feminists and the lavish deification of "five great spirits:" Helen Keller, Clara Barton, Jane Addams, Eleanor Roosevelt and Marian Anderson. Back to the safe and approved, back to the biographies that line the shelves of small-town elementary schools. One hundred and fifteen pages, and Eleanor Roosevelt is still the queen of them all. Oh well...
Having recently spent four weeks flying around in a blimp in Black Sunday, Swiss Actress Marthe Keller, 30, had no qualms about going up in a hot-air balloon for her latest picture, Bobby Deerfield. She plays a dying woman who teaches a race-car driver to live life to the fullest.

Rosovsky himself has done a good deal to encourage this tendency, either deliberately or unconsciously. Rosovsky prefers to utilize his own staff in academic and budget matters--Kaufmann, Keller, and John B. Fox '59, assistant dean of the Faculty for academic administration--rather than use the College dean, Whitlock, and other deans. Promotion of Fox to the dean of the College post over Archie C. Epps III, dean of Students, and Alberta Arthurs, dean of undergraduate affairs, is only...
