...Medicine has aroused bitter criticism from some faculty members, and its future is not at all certain. Perhaps to stir any debate at all over the curriculum, Robert H. Ebert, dean of the Med School, apparently felt it necessary to skirt the standing faculty Committee on Curriculum and have a totally new group draw, up the report. He asked Dr. Alexander Leaf, a member of the Curriculum Committee, last year to pull together a subcommittee. Leaf's sub-committee produced its report last Spring.

...McGeath, a clerk in Dallas' big new Sanger-Harris department store, was trimming a display Christmas tree one afternoon when she felt a tug on her skirt. "Lady," said a four-year-old boy, his tiny face knotted with perplexity, "Lady, it's not even Halloween yet." It wasn't, either.

Childie (Eileen Atkins) is a long, pale taffy pull of a girl with the cringing whine of an eternal sycophant and the wily compliance of a slave. At the arbitrary whim of Sister George, Childie must kneel and kiss the hem of her master's skirt, drink her dirty bath water or chew and swallow one of her soggy cigar butts. Childie's fraud is that while she plays the lesbian, she lusts after men and cheats on Sister George...
