...girl voted most popular by her fellow students was noticeably absent. She was off on a European tour trying to live up to another title bestowed by her schoolmates: most likely to succeed. As it happened, Christine Marie Evert, 18, class of '73, honor student and yearbook sports editor, was destined for some graduate work in the School of Hard Knocks, Big-Time Tennis Department...
...taking a job with the Budd Company, a manufacturer of transportation equipment in Philadelphia. "What was there to do?" he asked. "I would have just looked as if I was out there trying to slay dragons." Earlier in the spring, Sloan had submitted his picture for the class yearbook, a posed gathering of his parents, his wife and the Nixons outside the White House-a fitting photo to illustrate Princeton's unofficial motto: "In the Nation's Service...
Bill Beckett's review of 337 (Thursday) seems to lack a great deal of thought.

These drawings are accompanied by photographs, some of which are interesting, but we could have done without the high-school yearbook technique of supplying "funny" captions to the pictures. There is some disadvantage to converting bi-weekly articles into a collection (only a couple of chapters were added) in that Thompson has to repeat himself sometimes. An extended interview with Rick Stearns and Dick Dougherty about convention tactics wasn't worth...
