...Society's energy and enthusiasm deserves nothing but applause, their choice of a vehicle for their entry into the local scene is open to some question. Certainly Streetcar, Williams' most successful exploration of Southern degenaracy to date, is a popular play, but this very fact brings in its wake a number of problems.

In 1953, when Carolina decided to beef up its team to make it a match for neighboring Duke, Wake Forest and North Carolina State, the Chapel Hill authorities sent for Frank Joseph McGuire, blue-eyed, wavy-haired son of a New York City cop.
