...Tommy's, in the stacks of Widener, in the IAB pool, in the house dining hall long after the trays have been cleared, or making movies in Carpenter Center, or watching them at the Brattle. Every January and every May we all creep out of our niches and pile book upon book onto our outstretched mind and carry the whole precarious pile, maybe 20 tottering books high into Emerson 105, take a seat, and for three hours pull out one book from somewhere in the middle and then another, like the old table cloth trick, and then the bell rings...
...President can also take a new look at the Social Security trust funds; they pile up huge surpluses that are normally used to increase security benefits. So long as there is inflation, benefits have to be increased, but perhaps not to the full amount of the surplus. Reform of the Post Office would save at least $1.5 billion, as well as move letters faster, while another $100 million could be found by asking whether it still makes sense for the Rural Electrification Administration to subsidize rural cooperatives with 2% loans.

Other productions (La Bohème, Les Sylphides, The Hostage) were less successful and, as costs rose far above revenues, the deficits began to pile up. Editorialized the Atlanta Constitution: "There is still an altogether too widespread attitude that culture is an exclusive club-something to be seen by black-tied, be-minked audiences only." Michael Howard, artistic director of the Repertory Theater, feels that "people ought to be able to go to the theater...
...camp. Like Carson, he keeps his chatter on the light side. It's a basketball game of sorts, the way Ed sees it: "I help him get the ball down the court, and he sinks the basket." Sliding farther and farther down the couch as the guests pile up, Ed can still be heard roaring delightedly at all Carson's jokes, even the frequent gibes at Ed's supposed alcoholic prowess. Last week, giving blood on camera to help dramatize a nationwide shortage, Carson lifted his head from the pillow and cracked...
