...Healthy Trend. Sanford considers the stress on love a healthy trend, not basically different from "the ancient Christian idea." In modern terms, he suggests, the emerging ethic could well rest upon whether sexual activity develops or inhibits the individual personality-and that judgment must always take into consideration the generally accepted social attitudes toward sex. College girls, concludes Sanford, are increasingly conscious of this "and do not have as much difficulty in restraining themselves as is generally believed...
...into an elliptical orbit 139.2 miles at apogee, 100.1 miles at perigee. There was a pair of biological experiments to get out of the way: the fertility and growth of sea-urchin eggs had to be checked for the effects of weightlessness; human blood cells were exposed to the stress of radiation plus weightlessness. Then, as the Molly Brown curved round the bottom of the globe and came up across the Pacific toward the American coast, Gus Grissom got ready for the first orbital change...
Some professors openly encourage ceptsmanship, stress the cept in their lectures, argue that students who retain the cepts acquire an understanding that goes beyond a rote knowledge of who said what. These teachers may also delight in the cept as a handy way of rating the quality of a student's essay in quantitative terms. They merely scan the essay, underline the cepts, assign a numerical value to each, and tot them up. Other teachers never admit they are even aware of cepts-but tacitly use them anyway in grading. Superlative ceptsmanship amounts to a canny duel between teacher...

First to appear in the immediate postwar years were Reg Butler, Kenneth Armitage and Lynn Chadwick, whose vaguely figurative iron and bronze forms spoke to stress, anxiety and despair. Succeeding them is another generation that reacts against what one, Anthony Caro, calls their predecessors' "bandaged and wounded art." The wraps are off, the postures have come down from their pedestals and plinths, and the new British sculptors (see following color pages) are forging ahead in tough, cool...
