...Harvard has a sex scandal on its hands, the reason is not that the University permits girls to visit men's rooms for shockingly long periods of time. In comparison to the visiting rules of most other Ivy League schools and at least two other colleges in the Boston area, Harvard's parietal hours seem conservative...

Dartmouth's rules are either more or less restrictive than Harvard's, depending on whether you live in a fraternity house or a dormitory. Girls may visit both dorms and houses starting at 10 a.m. every day. In the houses they may stay until 11 o'clock weekday nights and as late as 2 a.m. Saturday nights; but since women are restricted to the ground floor, parietals in the fraternity houses are useful chiefly for the "wild parties" of Dean Monro's famous formulation.

...disaster struck on All Saints' Day. For the taciturn little President, the day had begun with normal business in the sprawling, cream-colored Gia Long palace; one visitor was Admiral Harry Felt, commander of U.S. forces in the Far East, who had arrived in Saigon for a "routine visit" and planned to leave for Hong Kong later in the morning. With Felt, and Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, Diem chatted easily, showing no signs of concern...

...turned the World Series of Golf (unofficial, says the P.G.A.) into a private endowment fund that pays him an extra $50,000 a year. He is franchised, merchandised, televised and incorporated. What more could a 23-year-old want? One thing. Last week Jack got to visit Paris on an expense account...
