...Harvard College and their wives attend a tea given by Mrs. Bunting at her new home. Soon after, Mrs. Helen Gurley Brown, author of "Sex and the Single Girl," is appointed first mistress of the tenth House, Ingraham House. Mrs. Brown is a non-academic. As nights become warmer and rumors fly, Harvard freshmen nervously sandbag entrances to the yard...

Ship of Fools, by the overrated Stanley Kramer, was saved by the performances of three foreign stars, Simone Signoret, Vivien Leigh and Oskar Werner.

...Frank J. Low focused Jupiter's image on a germanium bolometer -an infrared measuring device of his own invention that is more sensitive than any other now in use. After analyzing the feeble radiation, he determined that Jupiter's effective temperature is - 225 °F.-much warmer than the - 274 °F. that Jupiter would register if it were an ordinary planet radiating only the heat it received from the sun. To reach the higher temperature, Low calculated, the heat output of Jupiter would have to be roughly 2-. 5 times as great as the amount of heat...
...rush of great and terrible events in World War I jolted her into a realization that she herself might wield some power for good in public affairs.

...described as "decorative." Undulating, floor-to-ceiling panels of plywood constructed around stage. Auditorium walls reshaped. Two-foot-deep "reflector box" constructed around stage apron. Air-conditioning units are muffled. Total cost: $335,000. Critics say echoes persist and bass has developed thudding sound. Consensus is that sound is warmer, but still nothing approaching that of Vienna's Grosser Musikvereinssaal, Amsterdam's Concertgebouw or Boston's Symphony Hall-all built before acoustics became a science...
