...Podnos, administrator of the local Mental Health Center. Absorbed all day in scientific precision, engineers are apt to accuse their wives of sloppy housekeeping if they find an unwashed coffee cup in the sink. It is hard for some of them to understand why there is not an effective system for toilet-training the baby...
Despite its persuasive power, the auteur theory suffered from one serious flaw. Though the Cahiers critics had an encyclopedic knowledge of cinema, they understood little of the Hollywood System.

It is my feeling that we must be inclusive in an effort to explore every avenue that will drive down the cost of housing or expand the safe...
Luckily for Harvard, the regatta is run on a seeding system this sumer rather than on the traditional blind draw. The Crimson drew powerful Cornell last July and lost in the opening round. This week, with the boat suffering from a virus only two days before its first race, a similar draw would have been disastrous...
