...correct some of these faults, the report urges a 25% increase in the Oxford faculty to produce a ratio of one teacher for each ten students. New entrance examinations would be tailored to give state-school students a better chance. Oxford's tutorials, says the report, have kept university dons too busy to prepare lectures properly, and should be cut back. Coordination would be aided by strengthening the powers of the operating chief, the university vice chancellor. Many other recommendations seem timid. For example, the report proposes that Oxford grow only by about 3,000 students over the next...
...hadn't. Salesman was never meant to be a documentary, and its X-ray examination of a man who is going under has kept it from becoming a period piece. Willy Loman, the salesman whose soul is as worn as his heels from his mindless pursuit of the American dream, is as pathetic today as he was 17 years ago.

Last week word of his decision leaked to the press; this week the President will make it official...
...fire-eater who publicly denounced the "phony antiCommunism" of Joe McCarthy in 1954, Sheil is now 78 and subject to ailments (most recently a broken ankle) that have kept him from performing pastoral duties. Cody visited Sheil with the suggestion that he let a younger man take over financial administration of the parish. Sheil at first consented, but then told a newsman: "I didn't retire. This is a removal." Cody expressed his regret that the matter had been made public-and coolly named a new pastor of the parish...
