...rumor spoken of in this postcard--found in Tuesday's mail by coach Joe Restic's secretary--is, of course, false. The Crimson will show up in New Haven this afternoon to do battle with the Elis...
...Europe is also becoming something of a lodestone. Said a College of New Rochelle coed in Cracow, Poland: "There's always something to worry about-the black market, the secret police, talking too freely. I'd love to see my parents' faces when they got my postcard and realize I'm here." But a taste of Eastern Europe's goulash tourism is often prohibitively expensive, and the Soviets have been known to stretch the charge of "disseminating anti-Soviet propaganda" to cover even travel guides...
...Francisco's picture-postcard suburb of Sausalito boasts a rare breed of American fauna: a small band of happy commuters. The reason is blue and white, cost $700,000 and floats.

Lean redid a month's shooting at $28,000 a day because Robert Mitchum's costume was "too little Lord Fauntleroy"-a point Mitchum had made before shooting began. And consider the product of all Lean's care. Its romanticism is so retarded as to give the heroine a white mare and her lover a black stallion...
