ACliffie in search of birth control pills will have heard various unconfirmed stories about the University Health Services. But the one that sticks in her mind is that doctors at the walk-in clinic dispense Enovid like Aspirin, and so she may find herself hopefully filling out a little card for the walk-in clinic at the brightly colored clinic entrance to 75 Mt. Auburn Street...
...proportion of Cliffies who actually turn to the clinic is probably not high. Statistics, of course, are impossible to obtain. Each visit to the walk-in clinic must be recorded in a student's folder, and individual doctors can paraphrase a birth control query in different ways. Dr. Preston K.

Because of it, Jack and Nora Clitheroe can make no impression as characters, and much of the later action, particularly in the last act, means nothing because the Clitheroes mean nothing...
