Last week's interim raise of 5% for G.P.s and dentists was designed to stave off mounting anger among doctors, but it settled nothing. The chairman of a doctors' negotiating committee who favored accepting the government's plan was forced by angry colleagues to resign. Britain's doctors carried on-overworked as usual-hopelessly divided among themselves as to the best tactics to pursue, but unanimous in feeling underpaid...
...main, however, Wagner's study indicates that Lewis has been valuable chiefly through his constant attacks from the enemy position. Like the burr under the saddle, he has helped to hurry things along. Speaking of Vorticism, a movement initiated by Lewis, Wagner remarks, "It was a necessary interim. It 'hustled the cultural Britannia, stepping up that cautious pace with which she prefers to advance.' And Britannia was certainly goosed up the gangplank to Modern Art."

The winner: sometime Cinemactress Jean (It Happens Every Spring) Peters, 30, for ten years a close friend of Hughes's, not counting a year's marital fling in the interim with a Texas oilman...
...person unfamiliar with course organization at Harvard, the two-week period before midyear, and the three week interim before final, exams might look suspiciously like time set aside for cramming. In fact, he might think unprincipled professors used these periods to gather up the odds and ends, or the dregs, of their courses, enabling them to stuff their students a little fuller and to cross off the remaining titles on their syllabi. Taking notice of the remarkable number of extracurricular activities at Harvard, and taking human nature into account, he probably would doubt that periods placed at such propitious times...
