...use of revised College Scholarship Service Tables to compute financial need will increase the value of many scholarships awarded to incoming freshmen, Peterson said. But the new tables will not be applied in reviewing the scholarships of students already in the College, he added.

...final factor is Ted Kennedy. The men on the Hill resent his quick rise to power, his avoidance of the state Party, and his identification with the Yankees rather than the Irish.

Independent Study isn't what it used to be. It has grown (from about 70 students in 1960 to more than 300 now).

The six bits of dialogue don't untangle the plot or deepen the characters. After all, the vocabulary of the subconscious does not use any known alphabet, although one suspects that music is our best approximation. No, this dialogue merely suggests the too easily forgotten gap between what a person says and what he is. Nothing Anastasia could say would do credit to her presence; thankfully, she says nothing. She is addressed once...
