...Hilles Library in the Radcliffe Quad is attractive, comfortable, and convenient for Cliffies to use for taking out reserve books at night. But during the day, when the girls are in the Square and might like to spend a spare hour between classes looking at a reserve book, there is no place for them to go. While Radcliffe once housed its books midway between the Quad and the Square (and conveniently across the street from the Graduate Center where many Cliffies eat lunch), now there is nothing but an intellectual wasteland stretching the long mile up Garden Street...

A burgeoning new school of camera-wise Spaniards enters a sturdy claim for recognition in this spare, gruesome drama about a quartet of upper-crust Spanish hunters-three middle-aged malcontents and a wealthy young sprout-who slaughter rabbits for sport.

Mama Potter, who looked like Queen Victoria, discouraged overnight visitors by keeping her spare rooms so dusty that they were uninhabitable. Beatrix' chief diversion lay in frequent trips to picture galleries, of which she candidly detailed her impressions: Sir Joshua Reynolds was "niminy-piminy," while "Raphael had never looked at a horse."
