...High Jinks. Last fall the university decided to tackle its toughest problem: the fun-and-games atmosphere that attracted 5,000 students from outside sunny Florida (biggest out-of-state delegation: New York, with 1,300) and had earned Miami its nickname of Suntan U. The administration hired tough, grey-haired Robert Johns, director of the Illinois Commission on Higher Education, as its executive vice president, told him to crack down on student saturnalias...
...Tall, grey Dr. Samuel Howard Miller, 61, Harvard Divinity's former professor of pastoral theology and the first Baptist to be dean of the 149-year-old seminary, told Princeton's fledgling ministers that if religion is to have any real place in the modern world, it will have to "undergo a radical revolution." In fact, he warned, "the critical point of no return may have been passed." The churches are addressing themselves in a dead language to situations and issues that no longer exist.

When he is in his palace, the bishop of one of the largest Roman Catholic dioceses in the world rolls out of a hammock at 3:45 every morning and pads barefoot across the rough wood floor to wash in a bucket of cold water.

"I greet you on a small piece of our Soviet territory," said Khrushchev to his guest. "Sometimes we drink out of a small glass, but we speak with great feeling." Answered Kennedy...
...scrofulous French novel on grey paper with blunt type."* as Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer might well be described, has now turned up in U.S. bookstores clad in a clean collegiate jacket, tailored at $7.50 by Grove Press, intellectual outfitters to the offbeat, the off-color and the off-limits (in 1959 Grove issued the unabridged Lady Chatterley's Lover). The publishers have so much confidence in Miller's notoriety that they paid the author $50,000 in advance and dumped a 30,000 printing into hospitable bookstores (Scribner and Doubleday, among others, are holdouts) weeks...
