Paulovich tucked that experience under his belt when he decided to spend the summer at Marine Platoon Officer Candidates School in beautiful downtown Quantico, Virginia. Too short to be eligible for the Marines, Paulovich says he slept on a board the night before his physical and stood on his tip-toes at the weigh-in. "Sarge" (his nickname from day one of sophomore year when he returned to Cambridge sporting a Frank Freidel crew-cut) finished in the top 5 per cent of his Marine class and plans to take a commission following graduation from Harvard next year...

Karin Kasdin, as Jo Vanderwater, sings "Little Jazz Bird," and looks the part--tall and thin, gowned in white, her hair topped with a feather, she resembles a tip-toeing crane slinking unsuccessfully after her man. Laura Hastings, as Dick Trevor's true love, gives a beautifully evocative rendition of "The Man I Love," while spotlighted in cool blue light...

...employment proposals by Thurow and Feldstein have much the same problem as TIP; they would be hard to administer. There also would be serious difficulties in defining who was qualified to receive the job subsidy and in guarding against fraud. The plans have run into stiff opposition from union leaders, who fear that federal subsidy for young workers would tempt companies to lay off older, more experienced hands in favor of hiring the cheaper young...
