Whiffing and poofing, Yalemen heard last week that little ewes may some day stray into the college as undergraduates. "Yale has a national duty," said a faculty report, "to provide the rigorous training for women that we supply for men."

Old Blues turned purple at the report, although Yale already has 800 women graduate students...
When the 49th arrived last fall, the base had just been reactivated after two years of falling from seed into a shambles. The barracks were decrepit. Stray cows and pigs roamed the premises.

...blown about the stage like vagrant autumn leaves, but Harold Lang and Sheree North (Bogen's folly) make a scorching sex rite out of What's In It for Me? As Miss Marmel-stein. a secretary with absolutely no sex appeal. Barbra Streisand trips the show into stray laughs. For the rest. Wholesale is as quiet as Seventh Avenue on Yom Kippur...
