...wisher with operatic gusto, dropped a kiss upon her cheek, and offered her his own, slightly more ravaged, cheek in return. The kissee, Mrs. John F. Kennedy, looked pleased; but the moment, recorded on nationwide television, brought some cries of public outrage. "Distasteful'' and "disgusting," sniffed the proper to the polltakers; and though Gossip Dorothy Kilgallen soothed one righteous reader by explaining that "it was the sort of 'social' kiss customary in high society," she went on: "it's the New Frontier, so you've got to expect the members to make...
...structure is ancient but remarkably sturdy. Since the author's book is a "tale" and not a novel, it is perfectly proper that his true lovers are slightly unreal in an old-fashioned way, rather than, as is now customary, slightly unreal in a modern way. Jahn and Maria speak to each other not in ping-pong dialogue but in fine, prosy paragraphs; they are oftener apart than together; they love honor more.

...Certain HSA activities encroach; others do not; and it would be pointless to insist that the entire agency is a sweeping, irresistible evil. (The article below is part of an attempt to illustrate this). The trouble is simply that the University refuses to trim offending activities down to their proper size. No doubt the fact that the HSA Director wears extra hats in the student employment office and in Administration committees has something to do with Harvard's passivity, but it certainly cannot completely explain who the Administration apparently never subjects the HSA to thorough, formal, review. Although condemning...
