Radcliffe students who feel that they would fare better as full and "legitimate" members of Harvard College would do well to take account of the efforts of their male counterparts to affect the decision-making process at Harvard...

Sheed provides a good mixture of wisdom and nonsense, so that the reader finds himself saying, "Yeah, yeah, right," and then, "Now wait a minute!" He is properly appreciative of Edmund Wilson, sound on Walker Percy and P.O. Wodehouse, and amusing about the mandarins of New York film reviewing...
