What manner of woman ignored the provincialism of the 1890's and went to college? Certainly not the timid, nor the average, nor the society conscious, nor the unambitious. Yet Gertrude, even among her brilliant and determined classmates, was somehow different. Later, when she wrote at great length about her life, she always skimmed over the Radcliffe period. "I knew the flexible Mass Stein for twenty years," says Miss Alice Roullier, a former art dealer. "She never mentioned her college days...
...theme of the Carnival was "the Good Ol' Days"--the Roaring Twenties--which the Daily Dartmouth described as "a mad age of loud parties and wild dances and much beverage." This mad age was in evidence all over the campus, but somehow ol' mad spirit was not up to par. College students of the "beat" fifties are not completely satisfied to exuberate wildly for 36 hours, doing nothing but dance ... and drink ... and laugh loudly. Yet this discontent is buried under the revelry and shows itself only on Sunday night during bull sessions over dirty glasses and broken bottles...
...Masters of Strategy." In fact, the President could afford to shrug. The out-in-the-open criticism had somehow helped to clear the air. Ike was working hard on his congressional program.

Yet he somehow makes physics a sort of cosmic cooking course that can fascinate anyone. White's secret is superb preparation: he spends twelve hours every day writing the script, building laboratory props and rehearsing with a 21-man crew. The preparation has to be right; a faulty wire can delay...
...Slav; but soon he discovers to his displeasure that his pretty little anglichanka is in love with another passenger (Jason Robards Jr.). The major, soulful Russian that he is, swirls his sorrows into a big black cape and goes thundering about the countryside on a big black horse, looking somehow, as Actor Brynner keeps poking about unpleasantly with his riding crop, less and less like a Red Army officer and more and more like a Freudian interpretation of Ivan Skavinsky Skivar. Back in town, the major-hero toasts the heroine in vodka, then chews up the glass as a chaser...
