...schoolboy, John Keats was handy with his fists. One of his friends later recalled that "he would fight anyone-morning, noon and night, his brothers among the rest." Nothing in the boy suggested the conceit of the prodigy, and when he began writing verse a few years later, he assumed none of the pale, bohemian attitudes of the precious poet...
...Communist schoolboy knows, the wisdom of Marx (as interpreted by his disciples) is the only true gospel. But somehow the writers who sat down to reslant Czechoslovakia's schoolbooks two years ago completely missed the point.

...barman-they're brothers!" Maugin says. "Both of them live on other people's vices . . ." That is Maugin's record. At 14, he ran away from his home in the provinces with five sous in his pocket.

ST. LOUIS and BALTIMORE, for instance, are considered "Princeton towns." Harvard, on the other hand, is far more active in securing the top applicants from MINNEAPOLIS and CLEVELAND, while Yale at present is attracting top students from SEATTLE and PORTLAND. Closer to home, Harvard alumni just last...
