Sorority girls who live on Washtenaw Avenue, for example, still hitchhike rather than walk the two miles to campus, and campus bulletin boards abound with notices of girls seeking weekend rides. Once the fall session starts, campuses will again bustle with mixers, where young men and women traditionally seek to meet strangers. One coed said last week: "We're not talking about the creature from the Black Lagoon. We're talking about a smooth guy −or guys−who can pick...

Dutch Foreign Minister Joseph Luns, a strong supporter of Britain's entry, last week...
Often the sessions are hard work. Mrs. Georgia Harris, whose husband had been a Navy pilot, was emotionally blocked until she participated in a 14-hour marathon session. "When I left it," she recalls, "I felt like somebody had just peeled all the skin off my body. Everything was open." No attempt is made to curtail or suppress normal mourning. As they progress, the widows begin to confront the emotionally exhausting problem of rebuilding their social and sexual lives.
