...self-supporting, six-tunes-weekly character into a weekly newspaper, partially subsidized by the administration. In the past, the CRIMSON has never bothered very much about any exact contract with the Summer School, concerning what it should or should not print. Usually, its editorial page has assumed a non-partisan character, and its summer editors have concentrated their efforts on Summer School news, reviews, and an occasional sports story. When there has been a difference of opinion, both parties have always yielded a bit. Conscious of the School's financial investment, the SUMMER CRIMSON has allowed the Weld Hall administration...

The accused: local commercial sponsors from jewelry stores and filling stations to undertaking parlors, rabid fathers and coaches trying vicariously to realize their own frustrated ambitions, mobs of partisan fans to whom winning means more than the boys' welfare or the game. Counters Pete McGovern: "The kids, on their own, can take the competition in their stride; it's the adults who sometimes go off the deep end." Admitting that local abuses have forced withdrawal of some Little...
...altar of totalitarian politics is also the theme of An Epitaph for Love. Like the Green thriller, it is full of brooding atmospherics and clever character analysis. The hero, Harry Lucas, is a footloose English writer in Florence, inwardly reliving the wartime days when he worked with the Italian partisans. His most haunting memory : a tug of war between love and loyalty, in which he turned in his girl Nina to the partisan chief Giulio because she was a German agent. The wound is reopened and history re-enacted when Florence is threatened with a Communist coup led by Giulio...
