...from there has ranged through the Common Market area to report on the developing community. In recent weeks, covering the negotiations on Britain's entry application, he admits that "it was impossible not to begin to root for the British." After he left Brussels last week, during the wake for Britain's hopes, he admitted to a slight feeling of apology at telling a watchful clerk at the British European Airways counter in London that because of more convenient flight times he would have to fly Air France. But then, after thinking through the whole story...
Died. John Villiers Farrow, 56, Hollywood writer-director and husband since 1936 of Actress Maureen O'Sullivan, a Roman Catholic whose rousing action films (Wake Island, Two Years Before the Mast) overshadowed but did not outshine his unfloridly written religious books, among them Damien the Leper and Pageant of the Popes; of a heart attack; in Beverly Hills...
...Vikings had to outbid half a dozen other teams. Unbelievably, VanderKelen was a free agent, ignored in December's pro draft by everybody except the American Football League's no-account New York Titans (who chose him on the 21st round).

(The B's go to Radcliffe girls who memorize the text and quote it verbatim, in perfectly looped letters with circles over the i's.) Not, I remind you, necessarily to people who have locked themselves in Lamont for a week and seminared and outlined and underlined and typed their notes and argued out all of Leibniz's fallacies with their mothers. They often get A's too, but, as Mr. Carswell sagely observed...
Carswell's further discussion of the O.A. is quite to the point--he himself realizes its superiority to any E., however A. His illustration includes one of the key "Wake Up the Grader" phrases--"It is absurd." What force! What gall! What fun! "Ridiculous," "hopeless," "nonsense," on the one hand; "doubtless," "obvious," "unquestionable" on the other, will have the same effect. A hint of nostalgic, anti-academic languor at this stage as well may well match the grader's own mood: "It seems more than obvious to one entangled in the petty quibbles of contemporary Medievalists--at times indeed, approaching...
