Thus last week, an irate Tribune reader named John Fitzgerald Kennedy served public notice that he no longer wanted the Trib-not even for free. Around the corner from the White House, at the Card and Gift Town Shop, Newsdealer Bernard Gorlen had already got the word. The White House called to cancel its subscription to the 23 daily and 13 Sunday Tribunes that Gorlen has been delivering since Inauguration Day. What was bothering the President, Gorlen wondered.

Because Miss Blanding's lecture was a kind of private family talk, it went unreported until the Miscellany News poll caught the eager attention of the New York Herald Tribune. Last week the Trib, with other papers falling in line, played the story big, in recognition of the fact that women's-college presidents who dare to insist on old-fashioned chastity for their girls are fairly rare nowadays. Having won cheers from almost every Vassar parent, Miss Blanding was undaunted. Said she: "The girls wanted to know what the standards were. I told them...
