...most of them. Thereupon the chairman of Stanford's anthropology department, James Lowell Gibbs Jr., had the locks changed on the collection. The wrangle grew wider as scientists contemplated the loss of the bones, some up to 3,000 years old, which have long been available for study. Clement Meighan, head of the American Committee for the Preservation of Archaeological Collections, weighed in: "We are not talking about somebody's uncle. Some of these people were buried in the time of the Greeks and the Romans. Destruction of their remains is really unconscionable." Will the Indians ever bury those bones...
Playing in the fourth slot, Leslie Miller was not as lucky, losing her tiebreaker, 4-5, to drop the match to Meighan Dignam, 4-6, 6-7. Marjorie Solomon survived a lengthy contest with Judy Wiles and emerged...
...doubt his account of how the work began. "I wanted to enter graduate school and do a good job of being an academic, and I knew that if I could publish a little paper beforehand, I'd have it made."

Just give it to me straight and in detail, the way it happened. The richness...
Kazan's most important contribution to the film, apart from getting remarkable performances from his actors, was to turn Williams' sweaty study of degeneracy into a comedy. Always searching for humor among the dirt--Kazan has his principals--Carroll Baker, as Baby Doll, Karl Malden, as Meighan, and Eli Wallach, as Vacarro--explore the comic sides of their characters. His direction is brilliant and the three performers, who give unanimously superb performances, prove once and for all that Kazan's rather nervous brand of naturalistic acting is quite suitable for comedy. The director's interpretation unquestionably improves the script, even...
