...should not protest about a good thing, and the creation of the Kennedy myth has been nothing but good. It has given utopians a never-to-be-realized ideal against which they can measure Kennedy's fallible successors. One of the most valuable things Schlesinger does is to remind his readers of the antipathy towards Kennedy that grew up in the year before his death. "He used to say that Adlai Stevenson could still beat him in Madison, Wisconsin, or in Berkeley, California--perhaps even in Cambridge, Massachusetts...
...congratulate you on your perceptive and timely Essay "On Death as a Constant Companion" [Nov. 12]. You show that the answer of religion to doubts about death does not satisfy modern man, and that philosophy and science have done no better. I remind you of parapsychology, or psychical research, which attempts the scientific study of phenomena not yet understood by physical principles.

...rate, here style no longer seems a whim, or a self-consciously wielded tool, or a way of glorifying the director's role. Instead it fosters a sense of the film itself, as a medium.

But girls sometimes forget there exist statutes determined by people less liberal than the college administration." The head resident in, one of the co-operative Houses last night speculated at a Cliffie arrested under the "fornication" statute could expect legal aid from the college but would find Radcliffe "anxious to hush...
...Angels. Felled by a heart attack in 1948 and forced to eke out a living, Costantini set up a shop, like many of those lining the Piazza San Marco, selling the gaudy souvenirs that today pass for Venetian glass. "I suffered," he says. No one needed to remind him that Murano, an island in the Venetian Lagoon still crowded with furnaces, had once been the capital of the glassmaking world. The problem was to restore art to the craft, and Costantini decided to persuade contemporary artists to supply designs for the glassmakers left on Murano...
