...officials, steeped in the traditional game of footsie which Harvard has played with the Boston newspapers, obviously believe the answer is that he should. But a reporter must answer no. If he is to think of himself as serving anyone, it must be his paper, or "the public," or worst of all, "the truth," but not Harvard...
Paradoxically, whatever chance the Administration proposal will have in Congress depends less on Nixon's Postmaster General, Winton (Red) Blount, than on that Democratic stalwart, Lawrence F.

Karina looks and sounds a tart, but she has little of the compelling eroticism that the part requires. At his worst, Herve should convey a quality that is pretty deadly; Drouot's menace lies mainly in a serious case of five o'clock shadow...
