...late '60s students no longer looked for ways to put new life into liberal arts education--they attacked it as a tool of an oppressive social order. Instead of demanding more general education students tended to demand courses more relevant to particular contemporary problems. In a way, it was easier for the Faculty to satisfy these demands than those put forward by the 1964 Committee on Educational Policy. The Faculty was able to introduce an abundance of new Gen Ed courses dealing with the American political power structure and energy development without changing the overall structure or the philosophy...
...years after Gen Ed began, the Faculty modified the program slightly by permitting science concentrators to substitute departmental courses for their Nat Sci requirement. In the late '60s, after incessant Faculty debate, the requirements remained the same although the number of Gen Ed courses increased dramatically. The decisive break with the original system only came in 1971 when the Faculty set up the current system of departmentalized bypasses, and allowed the more specialized middle group courses to count the same as lower group courses.

A lavish wedding reception is in full swing downstairs, and she has been sent to fetch her new father-in-law, Loren Hardeman (Laurence Olivier), who is late in coming down. Softly calling his name, she opens the door to his room and freezes. So does the audience. Propped up against the side of the bed is a petite French maid, her skirt over her head and her legs wrapped around the greatest actor in the world--the first director of Great Britain's National...
...quality of performance varies wildly. Edward Herrmann is amusingly obnoxious as a company finance man, and Jones, as the racecar driver whom Olivier hires to supervise the building of the "Betsy," acts decently even if he projects no personality. Lesley-Anne Down, late of Upstairs, Downstairs, is not only ravishingly beautiful (and we see much of her), but speaks with that enticing British accent, which in a Harold Robbins film guarantees class. I have never seen Robert Duvall give a bad performance before, but here he acts alternately demented or disinterested. He rattles off paragraphs of exposition without a change...
