Such minor worries and a mountain of large ones shadow the new college; a new science building is blueprinted, for instance, but the money is not in the bank. But President Platt speaks optimistically: "Our problem is to sustain momentum, but the idea has taken hold. The kids have been dropping back all summer long to see how the new dorm was going up, and to meet the new faculty. Cross-fertilizing the sciences and humanities is looking less like an impossibility...
...Lolita's way, there are scenes of horrible irony. CHILDREN UNDER 14 FREE, says a sign at one hotel. But the most truly horrible part of the book is the intimate fashion in which the reader is made to see how from a monstrous relationship a kind of shadow of a good life emerges.

In the end-to Humbert's great agony-she is pregnant and happy with a young, goonlike husband. She has escaped, but there...
Moderns in Tents.

Finally moving on to Brussels via Paris, the ballet troupers scoured Parisian shops for all the shoes, Pancake Make-Up, eye shadow, nets, Kleenex, false hair, powder puffs and bobby pins they could carry. Wardrobe Master Leslie Copeland flew to London to buy white shirts for the men. Upon his arrival in Brussels, well-heeled Director Lucia Chase and company members cut off the incongruous pockets. The U.S. embassy in London scissored red tape to arrange immediate funds for air-freighting costumes, put the Rambert Giselle score in a Brussels-bound diplomatic pouch. In Brussels itself, one especially vital consignment...
