With a certain smile, Graduate Girl Novelist Françoise Sagan, 29, reported in McCall's (which invented togetherness) that the latest thing for a two-time loser in the Paris set, like Françoise herself, is to wear both her outdated wedding rings together. That way, a man can tell she is a "dangerous person to become serious about," while if he persists in chasing a three-or four-ring femme fatale, he is really saying bonjour, tristesse...
...team as national champion. But if our Harvard boys were to play Alabama, the outcome might be surprising--our evidence indicates Harvard would win by exactly 500 points. This evidence is based on comparative scores of games played by Harvard and Alabama and a few teams in between....

Some Fresh Worries. Behind the rash of personnel announcements, though, many problems remained.

Lyndon Johnson will probably carry Illinois, one of Barry Goldwater's "must" states, by at least a 60-40 margin. What makes Illinois interesting this year is not the LBJ landslide but the defeat which incumbent Governor Otto Kerner may inflict on Charles Percy, darling of liberal Republicans and Presidential hopeful...
Then again, it may be that Sartre has been sitting around like an ugly toad since 1957 walling for the opportunity to spit at the Nobel Prize Committee. Albert Camus was their selection that year. Is Sartre just a poor loser? It seems hard to believe, for he had a deep respect for Camus. Besides Sartre has had Simone, a series of best-sellers, and seven years to recover. Now when the honor which was sooner or later to be his has come it seems a rather ineffectual and stupid gesture to refuse. Peter R. Berreill...
