...movie? It was called O Lucky Man. Pretty rotten luck is all I can say. All the newspapers here are screaming about how it was in some film festival in France. With all the holler, you'd think this was the movie miracle of the century. (This one critic got very serious about whether or not it was the masterpiece of the month.) The promoters have thought of everything--stickers, folders, posters, and a record of the soundtrack. I'll bet you anything they start leafletting in Harvard Square tomorrow.

Good Luck, Miss Wyckoff (1970), a novel about a woman brutally isolated from society, met with modest success.

He was even offered a promotion to assistant chef, but he had to attend another meeting of the reserve bank, and then he moved on to the garbage business in Maryland ($2.50 an hour).
