...sources and suspects in the case are a gallery of stereotypes: the alcoholic mother (Joanne Woodward) and the horny teen-age daughter (Melanie Griffith); the good-hearted slut (Linda Haynes) and the spoiled, untrustworthy rich girl (Gail Strickland); the menacing moneybags (Murray Hamilton), the surly chauffeur (Andy Robinson), the sardonic cop (Tony Franciosa...

The business of recruitment continues as a mere adjunct of the regular admissions process. No successor has yet been found for Joseph Strickland, assistant dean of the GSAS, killed in 1972, whose job it was to head minority recruitment...
