...been said that the Committee is fearful that a drive for an activities center would snarl the University's long-term push for a $90,000,000 general endowment fund. If this is so, the Committee should explain its misgivings to the Harvard community, which otherwise may well remain unconvinced...
...like flies, beginning with an unctuous colonel of dragoons (Arnold Moss), and ending with poor Don José (Glenn Ford). Since wickedness does not pay, Carmen at last ends up with a knife in her own alluring torso. As the gypsy cigarette girl, Rita has a chance to spit, snarl, bite, slap, kick, dance, sing (in Spanish), pull a knife and, of course, exercise her deadlier blandishments.

Little engine noise gets into it; most of the roar and snarl is blown back with the wake. The air ducts grumble below the floor; a ventilator hisses. When the plane is up to speed, the airstream rushing over the canopy makes a moderate, roar. There is hardly any vibration. Experienced pilots say that the plane handles "like a kiddie-car." When it makes...
