...adapting Melville's 500 pages into a not over-long screenplay, Huston and Ray Bradbury have done a job that is unqualifiedly brilliant. They have followed the plot and the characterizations faithfully, and have even shown a welcome respect for the spoken word--in the sermon by Father Mapple, in Ishmael's intermittent narration, and in numerous speeches by Ahab that are taken almost verbatim from the book. At the same time, realizing that the camera and the pen are by no means interchangeable storytellers, they have not hesitated to take beneficial liberties with the novel. In Peter Coffin...
...With respect to William Harvey's June 18 "cutlet" for cheating on examinations (formulae on fingernails and a circular note under his wristwatch crystal): for knowing so precisely what was to be asked on the examination without benefit of an espionage system, Mr. Harvey deserved at least a passing grade.

The honor was well deserved. Never before had Penn State known the prosperity or prestige that came to it under Milton Eisenhower...
...this respect the National Scholarship Service and fund for Negro Students has conducted a Southern project for the past two years. The objective was to encourage more of the best Negro students from Southern high schools to apply for admission to good interracial colleges in the North. During the two years 78 Negro high schools in the 45 largest southern cities were visited. 3,178 students, all in the top ten percent of their senior classes, then took a modified college entrance examination. Of these, 1,732 passed. And 578 applied for admission to an interracial college, with 523 being...
