Judging from individual performances, the meet should be close, and the varsity could pull an upset if it wins the relays, the last events. The varsity mile relay team has defeated both Yale and Princeton twice this year. Yale, however, won the two-mile relay when the three teams met in the Knights of Columbus meet and a repeat victory may enable the Elis to squeeze the Crimson into second place in the meet...
Friday, Feb. 3. Autherine was driven by a Baptist pastor the 60 miles from Birmingham to Tuscaloosa in time for her first class in geography. Before 9 a.m. she walked into Smith Hall, took a seat in the first row. "I was met with hateful stares," she reported later. "As I sat down . . . several students moved away." That night 1,000 students marched on the home of President Oliver Cromwell Carmichael. They sang Dixie, shouted, "To hell with Autherine!" and "Keep 'Bama white!"

...additions be made to any scientific staff, that research be curtailed, that in the interests of preserving the traditional, residential character of Cambridge, "further expansion in the teaching of applied science and technology might best be left to other universities."

Within a year he was a father (of Eva, now an actress in the Broadway hit The Diary of Anne Frank), and the responsibility made a serious and disciplined musician out of him. "I didn't want people telling my child after I died, 'What...
...annals of doggedly ordinary folk. Given a handful of lower-middle or too-recently-upper-middle class people, and he will envelop them in a fine steam bath of banalities, in strong but clotted family feelings. Given a really sharp situation, such as Jerry's family met in a conclave over his possible marriage, and Chayefsky can orchestrate it-and Joshua Logan conduct it-with precise, phonographic humor. But the strong point of the playwright becomes the weak point of the play: the small talk and small talkers seem mere padding that not so much interrupts a vibrant story...
