...high school, then used his savings to get started at Davidson College (which he calls "the poor man's Princeton"), where he majored in political science. At Davidson, he recalls, he "never stopped running." Between classes, he ran to and from a $50-a-month job in a local bank, waited on boardinghouse tables in exchange for meals, got elected president of the student Y.M.C.A., became captain of the campus R.O.T.C., and won a Phi Beta Kappa key. Mindful that Rhodes scholarship selection committees take athletics into account. Dean Rusk went out for track, tennis, baseball and basketball...

She was to draw $50 a week for expenses, plus 5% on her sales. Her ladyship's friends explained that she is getting along on a $52-a-month British pension, with Lawford helping out by paying the rent on her house and anteing up a $150 monthly allowance. Peter's friends...
Jokes & Jazz. The really cozy just-good-dancing places-like Larue's or Le Coq Rouge, where the beat once was clear, strong and pleasant-have all but disappeared. Also gone, for the most part, is the local, rooted talent. Most entertainers nowadays travel a national circuit whose hub is Las Vegas and whose periphery is TV. The jokes and the songs are the same in New York as they are in Chicago or on the Jack Paar show...
