...Teuber is a highly competent Deputy: rigidly controlled, beautifully articulate. At times I found him a bit too conscientiously odious; Lord Angelo, I suspect, should not pick his teeth and ears or twitch his mouth quite so often. One must preserve the distinction between heartache and heartburn...
...transmit information is that of writing and duplication. Why can't a lecturer compose moderately extensive notes, have these duplicated, and give a copy to each student? Class meetings could then he used for other things. Such a procedure would transmit information much more effectively than the present paper-mouth-ear-pen-paper route. Furthermore.

...hair is just plain brown, and so are her eyes. Her mouth is big and arranged haphazardly, as if it were something new and unfamiliar, possibly hers only on loan. Her bosom is barely discernible, her legs too straight to be alluring, and she walks like a child in her mother's high-heeled shoes. As an actress, Joan Hackett, 28, does not begin to look the part. But. like the good actress she is, there is hardly a part she doesn't manage to look right...
