...critic is the box office, and Promises, Promises will doubtless satisfy that arbiter of taste. The show follows all the hallowed tac tics for promoting mediocrity into success. One does not gamble with $500,-000; one invests in the imitation of past successes. That means: Don't create -crib. Thus the plot line of Promises, Promises is derived from the Billy Wilder-I.A.L.

In effect, they are a commercialized version of the old fraternity files of crib sheets on courses, compiled by students who attended class regularly and took notes for their less conscientious brethren. Probably the most successful of the pony stables in attracting academic talent is Educational Research Associates Inc.,* a West Pittston, Pa., firm headed by former High School Teacher Paul Stark. He argues that students do need up-to-date, soundly based guides...
