...last doubleheader-against Dartmouth last weekend-the Crimson dropped both games. It split one with Columbia earlier in the season. Coach Bill Livesey expressed fear about a weak relief staff at the start of the season, but sophomore Rich Schaimler has developed into a fine reliever, shutting out Princeton in four innings last weekend...
...were never adequately recognized in Her Majesty's service. To restore both purse and pride he decides to organize a paramilitary operation of his own. Objective: a bank. A riffle through the army's records discovers seven competent but crooked officers and other ranks (Nigel Patrick, Roger Livesey, Richard Attenborough, Bryan Forbes, Kieron Moore, Terrence Alexander, Norman Bird)-all cashiered out, all out of cash. Guaranteed ?100,000 apiece, these amiable scalawags form an unregistered corporation called "Cooperative Removals, Ltd."

...every county in the state will need an insane hospital." When education began to reach sizable proportions in the 1880s. alarmists predicted the downfall of parental authority by "a crime-and-pauper-breeding system."

Today the charge is academic "softness." James Conant does not agree-or quite disagree. Some critics, he thinks, miss their target as badly as Pamphleteer Livesey.

Those who thunder that Cicero molded young minds at the turn of the century are right. But Cicero's assassin was not John Dewey alone. It was a combination of child...
...prince who wants to carve out a personal empire, is the chief of the Oriental evildoers. His flowing robes and turban do not quite succeed in converting him into an Indian ruler, but his perpetual and disdainful sneer gives a suggestion of Eastern inscrutability. Captain Carruthers, played by Roger Livesey, foils his plans with the legendary stolid determination of the British colonial officers. Livesey's characterization is so stereotyped that, at times, it almost sinks to burlesque. Somebody, however, usually shows up in time with a knife or a machine gun to keep the plot happily rolling and to leave...
