...other races seem to be thoroughly in Yale's favor. Alexander and Sherman of the Elis do 2:14 in the 220-yard freestyle as against Dick Seaton's and Tom Cochran's 2:17. The 50-yard freestyle, always close, includes three Yalies who swim faster than Pete Zemo's fastest time this season. Roger Anderson has done the 100-free in the phenomenal time of 48.9 seconds. The varsity's best 100 man, Koni Ulbrich, swims it in about 53 seconds. The best the varsity can get in the backstroke is third, since the Bulldogs' best man does...
Wyman follows with an essay on the West Coast anti-academics (the Beat and breathless generation)--a hand-dangling series of observations on San Francisco press agentry. Wyman, and a good many of Audience's poets, seem mildly awed at the energy of the Beat mystique--and profoundly amused by jazz-and-poetry miscegenation and technological bogeymen...
...Jean Jaurés, Maitre Labori and the other famous men who turned the Dreyfus Affair from a case into a cause.

Her children and grandchildren were born there. The look, sounds, smells of jungle and sea seem to have penetrated her consciousness. The deep differences between native and white, between servant and master, are effortlessly established as both subtle and decisive. And underneath the light garment of Christianity or Mohammedanism worn by the natives, there is the steadily discernible play of a fundamental superstition...
Baldly told, without regard to Author Cicellis' luminous sensibility and genuine compassion. Ten Seconds from Now could seem as world-wearily neurasthenic as Françoise Sagan's round-robin tournaments of amour. Dominique loves Nondas who has eyes only for Erne. Diki is engaged to Vangos but pines for Jason who solaces himself with Aemilia. Monarches loves his wife Julia who leaves him for a nameless lover for whom she has waited for 15 years. Danae loves Simos who is too poor to offer marriage but can pay for an abortion. Sentimental Vivi is perhaps poorest...
