...Cambridge and ease the shock of finals at 3 p.m. Sunday on the steps of Memorial Church. It will be your last chance this semester to sit against blossoming trees in damp grass amid a fleet of baby carriages and just listen to music.

...first problem was what to call the new agency. "War on Poverty" had to be dropped because it formed an acronym offensive to Italians; the pallid OEO was adopted instead.

As Cassio, Derek Jacobi seems a snub-nosed, undergraduate type whom no lion among men could seriously consider a rival...
