...other U.S. campus stands to lose as many faculty men to the Kennedy "brain tryst." Three are gone: Economist David E. Bell (Budget Director), Law Professor Archibald Cox (Solicitor General), and Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences McGeorge Bundy (Special Assistant for National Security Affairs). Four more are reportedly to be named to still unassigned jobs: Professors Abram Chayes, John K. Galbraith, Arthur Schlesinger Jr. and Stanley Surrey. If conservative Harvard-men shudder at the rumor that New Deal-ish Historian Schlesinger may wind up as Commissioner of Internal Revenue, they try to balance the notion with...
...Brain Tryst. The day is gone when Henry Ford boasted: "It is one to me whether a man comes from Sing Sing or Harvard." Kennedy's Cambridge-on-the-Potomac includes 17 high Harvard-men besides the President-elect. Four are Cabinet members-designate: Treasury Secretary C. Douglas Dillon ('31), Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara (Business School '39), Postmaster General J. Edward Day (Law '38) and Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy ('48). Others include former Harvard Law School Dean James M. Landis, reformer of regulatory agencies, Assistant Defense Secretary Paul Nitze ('28), Federal Housing...
...goddesses still philander alongside the tourists. Orpheus, a hearts-and-flowers fiddler, plots with Pluto to get rid of his wife Eurydice, although she is really very fetching in her tight red pedal pushers.

...classic needs--for companionship on one hand and for money on the other--were responsible for the unwonted fifty cent admission to the Freshman Orientation Dance on Saturday. Of course, the fact that the young ladies neither requested nor received the money made the mass tryst respectable as the Union which housed it. Further, since the Crimson Key both sponsored the dance and collected the entrance fee, and since it is the Key's periodic function to Do Good, the fifty cents is practically a charitable donation...
...Poor little Jules" was no dynamo. He could not, like his mistress, write for 14 hours at a stretch and then mount a horse and gallop to a lovers' tryst. Soon he was dropped by the wayside, and George moved on to Novelist Prosper Merimee. Merimee, as Maurois vouches, "was of the race from which the Devil picks his Don Juans," and spoke of love "with all the coarseness of a medical student"; George hoped that his cynicism would cure her "childish susceptibilities." But "Don Juan failed utterly to come up to scratch...
