...beforehand how long a time such training will take if he does decent work. Not so at all for a Ph.D. One may say, in reply, that law and business and medicine are professional programs and thus can be easily defined, but that the Ph.D. is essentially an individual matter between student and master; that it is therefore filled with unpredictable elements, and that, in short, it is non-professional and therefore cannot be laid out so neatly in terms of years...
...Harvard is no exception. Except for the honors sections in General Education A, few regard the course as a stimulating experience. To a large extent, this hostility is inevitable, since Gen Ed A is the only required course at Harvard. Another reason for dissatisfaction is that the subjects assigned matter little to the students. Consequently, papers take progressively less and less of the student's time and attention.

Almost everything that could be done wrong the moviemakers have done wrong in this production, and yet somehow the picture comes out remarkably right. The film oversanitizes Pal Joey's original fun-and-gaminess and, what's worse, imprisons the show's vitality in a plaster cast. As the young love interest, Kim just trudges around in the well-known Novakuum, and Rita Hayworth, especially when she sings her big song (Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered), still sounds the siren, but where...
