...letters, at Hickok's direction, ended up in the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library with the proviso that they would not be opened until ten years after her death, which occurred in 1968. Many of them are included in The Life of Lorena Hickok, a biography by Doris Faber to be published by William Morrow & Co. in February. As a whole, they suggest an intimate relationship never previously considered...

...setting is again Faber College, circa 1962, and many of the characters from the hit movie are back. Though a few of the film's supporting players (John Vernon, Stephen Furst) have hitched up with the TV show, most of the roles have been recast. Realizing that John Belushi's maniacal Bluto is irreplaceable, the series' creators have wisely retired him from action. In Delta House, Bluto has fled Faber forever, to be succeeded by a younger brother known as Blotto. Josh Mostel, who plays the sibling, shares Belushi's girth but is otherwise attempting...
...honest movie about college life. From Good News to Love Story, from Campus Confidential to The Paper Chase, Hollywood has chosen to regard the campus as a haven for earnest young lovers, gung-ho jocks, inspirational professors and tortured class losers. Animal House, a riotous farce set at fictional Faber College in 1962, presents quite another picture.

They guzzle and spit beer, drive motorcycles indoors, dump Fizzies in the school swimming pool, pile up 1.2 grade-point averages...

Donald Sutherland, playing Faber's obligatory pot-smoking English prof, and Verna Bloom, as the dean's alcoholic wife, score some wicked points against the postgraduate generation...
