...this kind of attitude toward policy making that led one UHall administrator to remark last week that Fox appears likely to be firmer and more decisive than his predecessor, Charles P. Whitlock. Now associate dean of the Faculty, Whitlock says he thinks the College dean should become a more autonomous unit, regaining the strength the office had up until the early '50s. The more House masters and the heads of other College areas turn to the College dean, he points out, the greater the time Dean Rosovsky makes it clear he is looking for that kind of independence...
Veronique, unfortunately, takes this all in stride, as does Claudine Guilmain's directorial tyle. This brings to mind Vincent Canby's interesting remark about this film: [Guilmain], I suspect, made exactly the kind of film she set out to." I'm not so sure Canby communicates exactly what he set out to, but he would probably agree that Guilmain's straightforward and naive realization of a 13 year-old's perspective does produce some very funny moments--a ridiculous dispute in the car, Jean flopping off-balance into a garden chair--without stooping to too much cynicism.

Kennedy replied lightheartedly: "I really do not think there is anything that I can say to President Truman that is going to cause him, at the age of 76, to change his particular speaking manner.

Theresa Anne Knowlton, 18, an American girl, arrived in Bangkok last October with vague intentions of becoming a Buddhist nun. Shortly after her arrival, she met a fast-living young Frenchman by the name of Alain Gauthier and attended a party at his apartment, where he was heard to remark that it would be fun to take Theresa to the nearby beach resort of Pattaya. A few days later, on Oct. 18, Theresa's bikini-clad corpse was found at Pattaya. She had been drugged and buried in the sand...
