...Harvard graduate school," he said; "the question is: is it the best thing and can he make it?" The Medical School supplies Student Placement every year "with lots of leftovers." Concerning future careers, Crooks said that "the first thing we have to do is to tell them about Jones & Larkin." After that the student is supposed to take over for himself, utilizing the multifarious folders and the Company Interview Program.

...anything ever experienced or observed; it makes sex-on the rare occasions it refers to it-seem rather like a good breakfast food. As Will, Andy Griffith has enormous lumpish charm; Roddy McDowall is just the right foil as his buddy, Myron McCormick an amusing, long-suffering sergeant. Peter Larkin's attractive sets are often amazing bits of engineering, and Director Morton Da Costa has polished the show to precisely the right roughness...
