Last week these three men had a simultaneous and peculiar attack of nostalgia when they learned that old Dr. Charles William Super, onetime president of Ohio University, had died in Athens, Ohio at 97. They had good reason to remember Dr. Super. When they were undergraduates together at Ohio University more than 40 years ago, President Super rose solemnly before the whole college one day, pointed a solemn finger at them and cried: "Gillilan, Shepard and Johnson-I haven't the slightest doubt that all three of you will end up in a penitentiary...
There was the time a struggling Notre Dame team came East and whipped Army 7-0. Bill Cunningham said the reason was that years before, when Notre Dame's immortal George Gipp lay dying, he had called for Knute Rockne.

Indignantly wrote Painter Baldi: "I most frankly state that I have revolutionized the art of painting. . . . The reason to boycott my painting took place to protect from monetary disaster and depreciation all the canvas and exterior painting, where there is many billions of dollars involved throughout the world. . . ." Mr. Baldi's rejected work was a picture of Rudolph Valentino fighting a docile bull beneath an inset...
...ahead of theirs. Parkes's book catches up with history. A young (34) history instructor at New York University, previously known for a brilliant History of Mexico and for a few remarkably lucid essays, Parkes has tested the dogma of the Left in the light of history and reason, drawn his conclusions, brought them into sharp focus with political facts, and thereby outlined a progressive program with at least theoretical drive and good sense...
