...Chelsea Girls opens silently on the right screen with a blonde cutting her bangs. Five minutes later, the scene on the left screen begins--in the room of a homosexual posturing as a Catholic priest, hearing the confession of some girl. When the reel on one screen runs out, there is silence for a while until the sound-track for the other is tuned up, and some time after that a new scene begins on the first screen. And so it moves through lesbians and junkies and homosexuals lolling on their beds. About halfway through, Warhol switches to color...
Somewhat grudgingly, Chancellor Murphy concedes that U.C.L.A.'s sister campus at Berkeley is "more prestigious"-but then he will reel off a host of statistics to prove how much the gap has narrowed. This fall, student enrollment at U.C.L.A. has finally caught up with Berkeley at about 27,500-the planned maximum. Six years ago, U.C.L.A. took in a scant $10 million in research grants; now it gets more than $36 million a year, and its annual budget has more than doubled, to $85 million. On U.C.L.A.'s sprawling campus in Westwood, 31 new buildings costing $142 million...

A touch of red here and there, inspired by the color of the uniforms they wore. So that was the scheme...
Died. Louis Marron, 67, dean of U.S. big game fishermen, a burly Florida oilman, who in 1953 off the coast of Chile boated a 1,182-lb. broadbill swordfish, at the time the biggest game fish of any kind to be landed on rod and reel and still tops for a species widely regarded as the strongest and most difficult; of a heart attack; in Manhattan...
...that looks like the crowd scene from the Palermo production of La Bohème. After the Germans recapture the village, he contrives to involve the captain, giggling and wriggling under ribbons and rouge, in some transvestite titillations that are altogether too sweaty for comfort. And in the last reel he runs through one of those big silly battle sequences in which six Yanks take on 600 Germans, slice them up like liverwurst, recapture the village without a casualty. Daddy, in a word, found war hellarious...
