Though Banana Peel looks slipshod at times, it is mostly a bravura display of brightly stylish footwork. Befuddled, blackjacked, or held head down in a pool, Belmondo spins athletically through a series of double and triple crosses, showing more bounce per trounce than any leading man of his class. On the final bounce, it is inevitably Moreau who catches him. The minx with a perpetual moue, she sings, dances, suddenly flashes her searchlight smile over an unpromising patch of script-and the lost art of ultrasophisticated comedy springs to life on the instant. She seems more assured than ever...
...Wife amiably describes how a fighting-trim bachelor becomes a fat, happy benedict. Lemmon's lady smothers him with love and stuffs him with pasta until he has rings under his eyes and a bulge over his belt. Dragging his paunch through the men's-club swimming pool, he makes the mere act of floating seem a wry comment on the leaden responsibilities of marriage. Even Bash Brannigan evolves into a folksy domestic series called The Brannigans. Finally, Lemmon rebels. Both he and Bash decide to dispose of their mates by dumping them (Brrrp! Blasp!) into cement mixers...

The third preference and the remaining...
...plans, differing widely in details, have been suggested by such men as International Monetary Fund Chief Pierre-Paul Schweitzer and U.S. Economist Robert Triffin. Some of them would give the IMF power to create money and credit, somewhat as Lord Keynes suggested a generation ago. Others would create a pool of money from the world's dozen richest nations, to which each would contribute according to its wealth, thus sharing in both the risks and rewards of reserve-currency countries...
Going into the final relay, Dartmouth's fine freshman team had broken five records of their own and led 45-43. After two legs, Harvard was half a pool length behind. Phil Chase made up half the distance with a 50.1 split, and Shrout pulled it out for a final 3:21.0 clocking, a freshman record. Chase, Steve Bulloch, Peter Alter, and Shrout were individual freshman winners...
