...Turgenev. May I commend you especially on the book's inventiveness and control. Having the depressed Ganin find new vitality through his memories while awaiting Mary's arrival from the Soviet Union creates a natural suspense of great force.

...most of the Right People have come and gone. Lorraine's squirt gun has run out of water. Heimert has run out of gas. Peter and Anne are lingering over a cup of coffee with a junior discussing Fellini. The preppies have gone to their clubs. The lesser jocks are at a House basketball game. Others are at Lamont (Poor guys, the jocks and the literati agree, when will they learn?). Eliot House has settled into evening. The grill will be open soon-how about a round of pinball around 10? Until then? Well, a short nap might be nice...
