DeVane's calling has little relation to that of the standard Hollywood dean, who is usually pictured sobering a wayward student with a paternal lecture, or wading manfully into a crowd of panty-raiders. In many of America's great universities, where the president has to operate and finance a gigantic organization, the dean has become the chief educator...

...fast but not fast enough, discreet but not discreet enough. He had served four Presidents, mastered Churchill's stutter and Eisenhower's wayward syntax, but the new tempo of the White House was not his, and last week Official Stenographer Jack Romagna was unceremoniously fired. The sacking left correspondents morosely pondering a final, unanswered question: Was Romagna's fatal mistake marking the transcript of a presidential telephone talk "From the White House swimming pool...
