Says Author Faÿ: "The secret of Franklin was his memory and his shrewd cleverness. It was easy for him to recall the slightest detail of even distant events, and he had a plan for everything." In spite of his careful creed of moderation, Ben was "cheerful and fond of good living, a hearty drinker and a good story teller." Also, though Author Faÿ does not labor the point, Ben had little saintliness in his blood: in 1785 he had a great-grandson, the illegitimate son of the illegitimate son of his illegitimate son.

Students such as myself, who have classes during all three of the hours when the polling places were open, have no great amount of time free during the period.

The Roth Quartet, however, also from Budapest, remains for most...
Once in a not too distant past Harvard did look favorably upon the theatrical arts. This is demonstrable by the fact that the present American stage is largely controlled by former members of the Forty Seven Workshop. The ante-dated conservative atmosphere which the teaching of the drama has now assumed at Harvard indicates that its present predominance in the theatre can not help but be short lived...
