...English, who send CARE packages to needy sheep dogs, have never made house pets of spiders. But Iris Murdoch often deals even-headedly with oddities. This time she has spun a touching tale of wayward love and wanly threatening death, centered around a moribund octogenarian named Bruno Greensleave, whose twilight passion is for champagne and arachnids...
...intricately choreographed, totally absurd mating dance set in motion around his fusty deathbed, as various relatives pursue each other in preposterous shifting triangles like the occupants of a French bedroom farce. They even fight a mock duel. Most kinetic is a cheerful, kindly son-in-law named Danby in whose house Bruno is dying. Danby begins by sharing his bed with Adelaide the maid, then flirts with his brother-in-law's wife and finally consorts with an ex-nun named Lisa. She and a forbearing homosexual nurse called Nigel are the enigmatic characters, familiar in Murdoch fiction...
...newest version, Verdon has been replaced by a carrot-topped Shirley MacLaine, whose wide-screen pathos and galvanic energy does not quite match her predecessors'. Most of the other essentials remain the same. Sleazy customers steal in on little cad feet; for $6.50 an hour Charity hustles them around the dancehall floor-and sometimes into bed.

...celebrating its third birthday March 4 black tie -- now circulates among 129 Boston colleges (counting all the divisions of Harvard separately). The only school besides Harvard to protest its free distribution on campus has been the Dale Academy of Hair and Beauty Culture, whose dean worried that students would be "distracted from their textbooks." Dale and Harvard. Parke A. Sullivan, BAD's circulation manager, thinks about it and laughs, intimately. James T. Lewis, publisher, leans back in his chair. He has a beard. Graduated from Harvard Business School. Stephen Mindich, associate publisher, has dark, dark eyes which sparkle. He tells...
...outside the university, from government agencies or political organizations of students, seems to me utterly wrong. Many of my co-signers were, as I remember, unwilling to apply this principle to ROTC, but that is their problem and not my own. I have often signed advertisements along with people whose politics I did not entirely like. But the political response the ad has evoked from the Harvard administration is my problem, precisely because I did sign. Dean Ford has publicly welcomed the ad, though for reasons I now cannot understand he never endorsed the opposition to ROTC. And President Pusey...
