...Must a motion picture depict wife-trading, homosexuality, crime, violence, or other perversity to receive a favorable review by TIME? Clean, wholesome pictures that emphasize the better values in life are consistently spoofed by your Cinema department. A recent case in point is "Into the Jaws of Heck," your cynical and smart-alecky review of the late Walt Disney's Follow Me, Boys...
With those anguished words to close friends last week, Jacqueline Kennedy set in motion the biggest brouhaha over a book that the nation has ever known. The book was no ordinary one: it was William Manchester's The Death of a President, which has been awaited as the authoritative account of the assassination of John F. Kennedy in Dallas.

...quite possible that other Faculty members may raise the rank issue and, along with it, the question of student deferments. John Rawls, professor of Philosophy, who introduced this month's anti-2-S motion, is considering drafting a new resolution. This one, he said earlier this week, will probably tie together the issue of 2-S and the University's policy to sending ranks. Rawls and other supporters of the original resolution will decide by next week whether to raise the matter again in January...
