...enough for a teacher to mumble a few words about the reading at the start or end of an occasional lecture. By cutting a few lectures men can miss the assignments altogether, and often those on hand get garbled versions. As courses come to use greater numbers of books and various lecturers, the need for correlated reading lists cries out louder; Economics 2a and 41 are specific cases where review for the examination would be immeasureably helped by a full printed outline.

Its cast of 35 is entirely feminine and its subject is exactly what its title suggests. Halfway through scene i, Playwright Boothe makes a distinction between Women and Females. Mary Haines (Margalo Gillmore), a gracious and home-loving blonde with one husband, two children and a heart filled with anxiety about reaching the shady side of 30, is a woman. Most of the rest...
