...character's caricaturish wackiness to carry her through the part. Richard Brooks' direction and adaption of Judith Rossner's best-selling novel is sufficiently slick to draw crowds to the box office, but the film can be filed as another victim of the typical superficiality of American movies. Sharp witticisms and flashy techniques keep the movie's pace upbeat, while Brooks neglects Dunn's broader significance as a prototypical single woman vainly coping with today's anything-goes morality. The movie consistently entertains, but does little else...
...sharp conflict with the view of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Feedback, a newsletter published by the Harvard University Food Services, encourages students to use the artificial sweetener, saccharin.

The kicker was a sharp thorn in the Crimson's side all afternoon, hitting a 46-yard and a 48-yard field goal later in the game and frustrating the Harvard return specialists with high, deep kickoffs that could not be run back...
...junior years, taking office at the beginning of the spring semester. Thus, with few exceptions, CHUL members do not serve for more than one year. The experience and knowledge they develop is lost, and new members must begin again to learn the ropes. This situation gives the administration a sharp advantage in discussions, many student members say. "The administrators deal with these questions on an nine-to-five basis. They can't help but know the issues better than we do," Megan Lesser '78, the Leverett House representative, says...
