Klein gave the tryst the logic of satire: Henry discovers that not only his boss but even the boss's wife is desperate for sex. It also humanizes Susan, who, out of hurt and curiosity, for once acts spontaneously. The director of The Graduate ("Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me, aren't you?") liked the scene and, over Universal's protests, shot it. Preview groups hated it--perhaps in prim disapproval or perhaps because when the hero of a film has an affair with the leading lady, audiences expect the affair to take over the story. Here...
Indeed, this may be the same logic that leads Stewart to believe students would be at all interested in a "joust" or "cookie-eating contest" in lieu of a performance by a live band at Springfest. MATTHEW R. MITCHELL '01 March...

And where is the logic in supposing that it is possible to extricate oneself from society for long enough to graduate summa...

But regardless of the outcome of this particular case, for the sake of students around the country, we hope Congress will reconsider the logic of the Solomon Amendment. If the military is having so much trouble gaining access to university campuses, perhaps it should reconsider its own policies before resorting to strong-arm tactics...
