...religion might hurt him in 1960 as it hurt "the Happy Warrior" in 1928. Consequently, out of a shrewd sense of political necessity, Candidate Kennedy provoked discussion of his Catholicism months ago, got accustomed to facing blunt questions with plain answers, and managed to run his fleet-footed political race with remarkably little religious heckling. But last week Kennedy found himself caught in a Catholic-Protestant clerical crossfire on the incendiary issue of birth control.

Another worry for the Harvard squad is a new intercollegiate event--the 200-yard individual medley. In this race, Yale already has on its team last year's Eastern champion, Foster DeJesus. The Crimson will counter with Gary Pildner and Tom Bartlett, both versatile, balanced, and improving, but neither up to DeJesus' level...

Finding no such refinements in members of their own race, Langner suggests, beauty-conscious Neanderthalers may have mated with other, more comely dawn men.

In the end three or four recognition scenes suddenly blossom out of a fertile but rather parched story, and all is saved. Will Varner recognizes what a real chip off the old chopping block his son Jody is, when Jody tries to burn him to death; Clara, Varner's daughter, played in a vaguely disappointing way by Joanne Woodward, finds out that the guy she's loved for five years doesn't have any desire to crawl into bed with her, married or unmarried...
