...Radcliffe, 108 women have chosen not to enter. Most of them will attend Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth, or some other newly coed school. Nineteen of them, however, have only deferred registering for the time being, and will take a year off, perhaps to read or travel. Radcliffe President Mary I. Bunting encouraged the entire class to consider this option, and is guaranteeing places in subsequent classes for those...
Skyjackers are the greatest threat to travel since bandits roamed the Old West. With astonishing impunity, the pirates of the skies are able to take over the swift vehicles that represent the most advanced developments of modern technological civilization.

In Hiroshima Mon Amour and Last Year at Marienbad, Resnais evolved an elliptical style of editing that included streams of consciousness, unconsciousness and dreams, all edited so tightly that the audience had to shift rapidly between tenses and dimensions. This technique made his films intellectual teasers, but it also tended to weaken the rather fragile narrative line. The scenario of Je T'Aime has been almost completely overwhelmed. It was supposed to be a kind of comic-strip fantasy about...
