...Mister Master. The title mania will be hard to snuff out. A senior administrative court inspector, first class, glories in being called Herr Verwaltungsgerichtoberinspektor, and a section manager at the big German electrical firm of Siemens is an Abteilungsbevollmächtigter (section plenipotentiary), even though he may be in charge of only six men. A man who wants his auto fixed knows that he had better address his mechanic as Herr Meister#151;Mister Master. A university graduate's Herr Doktor becomes part of his name, and if he earns a second degree, he adds it, too, becoming...
Rhetoric à la Che. S.D.S. is animated not by any master plan for revolution but by a sense of moral outrage-to say nothing of a fascination with rhetoric à la Che. Says Columbia S.D.S.

Moreover, drastic parietal extensions at schools such as Wellesley have not altered the nature of residence halls noticeably, nor have they disrupted the weekday academic functions of the undergraduates...
...third in the trio) to some very fine Scarlatti. Squirming under the chair, carrying it, carrying each other, stomping heartily to the music, the bespecatcled Miss Golod (whoever heard of a ballerina wearing glasses?) and the scruffy, blue-jeaned Mr. Mansbach made flagrant nonsense of both the old Master and the art of dance. It was a daring, enjoyable piece, summarizing the evening's offerings with appealing honesty and not a little sarcasm...
