...extremely hazardous, for the uneven depth and experience of the team makes its prospects problematical. But the belief here is that the Crimson will certainly make a good record. With fortunate breaks in a few departments, including injuries and sophomores, the team has at least some chance to repeat in the Ivy League...
Reluctant Braves. The embarrassing nonsense began in Brooklyn.

In Bonjour Tristesse, the teen-age heroine lived on cozy terms with her widowed father's succession of mistresses until he proposed to marry one, at which point the daughter showed her claws and drove the poor woman to suicide. A Certain Smile is only slightly less scandalous, and similarly concerned with Author Sagan's thirst for drinking at the fountain of eternal middle...
