Some 40 colleges simply acknowledge that freshmen studies tend to duplicate what modern students learn in high schools, and shove students out after three years and some summer work. In Los Angeles, 250 high school students take courses at U.C.L.A. At nearby U.S.C., other students polish off their senior high school and freshmen college years simultaneously...

Most of the girls are English, with a sprinkling of Germans and Scandinavians. French girls, Miss Kelly explains, "do not have the proper breast line"-meaning that they tend to be smaller-busted...

Intellectuals today tend to look on the age of anxiety as an urban affair, a unique fix man has just now got himself into. Frost's genial parsing of the components of the world in terms of bears and blueberrying, they feel, just won't do. Yet they are aware of another Frost...
