...murderers of Lidice would have been hard to detect in the streets of pre-1939 Berlin. Our own seemingly limitless capacity for killing Asians tells us something of what we are actually seeing when we travel across this country. And in the incredible debacle of the Light Brigade at remote Sebastopol, the inhumanity of mid-Victorian England was sharply illuminated...

...Harvard boat stroked by sophomore Dave Harmon won the "light-weight eight-oared shells" event in the time of 17:57.8, eleven seconds ahead of runner-up Princeton. In the "light-weight fours with coxswain," the Harvard boat stroked by Joe Bracewell '69 captured first by a four second margin...

...simplistic notion of the '40s that Negroes are just like whites beneath the skin is more than an embarrassment now. And Rainbow's light-headed whimsy is now done better by television, with its dreamed-of genii or married witches. Even so, the movie might have survived were it not for the ham-handed direction of Francis Ford Coppola, 29, whose only previous Hollywood feature was the moderately comic You're a Big Boy Now. Astaire and Clark are saddled with threadbare brogues, and both talk as if they were dictating letters to a tape recorder. Tommy...
