Parietals at Yale are different from those at Harvard in several respects. Since the notorious "Susie" scandal last winter, women have not been allowed in students' rooms during the week. However, the extension of Friday night visiting hours leaves the weekend virtually free from University restriction...
Created by Congress in high hopes and great expectations, the independent regulatory agencies, the "fourth branch of Government," have long counted among Washington's most notorious messes-entangled in red tape, beset by lobbyists, tainted with scandal, and years behind on their work. Within days of his election John F. Kennedy appointed crusty New York Lawyer (and sometime dean of Harvard Law School) James McCauley Landis to look into the mess. Landis brought to the task plenty of firsthand experience in the regulatory-agency mazes. Back in New Deal days, he was a Federal Trade commissioner, then a Securities...
...spur for the leave-taking was the Lavon affair (TIME, Nov. 7), a five-year-old governmental scandal that has grown as complex and abstruse as a learned commentary on the Talmud. Polish-born Pinhas Lavon was Israel's Defense Minister until 1955, when he was forced from office for what has been mysteriously described as a "disastrous affair'' in the previous year.- Lavon loudly denied responsibility, insisted he had been framed by two of Ben-Gurion's proteges: Army Chief Moshe Dayan and Shimon Peres, Director General of the Defense Ministry...
...poky chronicle compared with his The Proper Bostonians and The Last Resorts. He drops some 7,000 names. He delves into 27 tribal histories and relates them unsparingly, from the Adamses and Cabots to the Astors and Vanderbilts, not omitting the Byrds. For the rest, scandal vies with sociology, gossip with anecdote. The anecdotes, though frequently familiar, provide most of the fun, and in some of them Amory captures certain archetypal stances of social eliteism...
Three years ago, silent Maurice and two other union officials were indicted on charges of bribing a state official and making a fast $81,000 in land sales for a scandal-scarred Indiana highways project. (They later turned the money over to the state.) When a Senate committee pressed him for the details, Maurice was as untalkative as ever: he ducked 18 questions without bothering to invoke the Fifth Amendment. Last May, Hutcheson was fined $500 and sentenced to six months in jail for contempt of Congress. Last week, his troubles multiplying like wood shavings, Maurice and Carpenters' Vice...
