...Ooze is a new play about Harvard undergraduate life by a senior named Blair Brown. It is a play which contains a good deal of very funny writing--not all of it, I think, wholly conscious--about the ridiculousnesses of that life; unlike its obvious parallel, Love with a Harvard Accent, however, it is a play that I'm afraid Mr. Brown hopes will be taken seriously. And that would be absurd...
...stimulating the atoms of a synthetic ruby with brief bursts from a powerful strobe lamp, scientists demonstrated that they could produce spurts of "coherent" light -pure red light that is all of the same wavelength, all polarized in the same direction, and all traveling in phase in almost perfectly parallel beams.

She, consequently, marches fearlessly to the house where she has traced the skulduggery, and in her most formidable dowager's tweeds, and devastatingly sensible shoes, assumes the post of cook-chambermaid, the better...
...start, the six Common Market countries (France, West Germany, Italy and Benelux) last July set up a committee under French Diplomat Christian Fouchet to suggest a plan for a politically unified Europe to move parallel with the growing economic community...
