...THING dorms are interested in most of all is studying. Everyone is willy-nilly identified as a student and thrown into a schedule that has a relentless momentum of its own. There is no sense for the individual when she wakes up in the morning that she has a day to do with as she wishes. Studying is not a free and personal thing but a compulsory activity by which an atom holds its place in the mass. Everyone studies all the time and worries whether everyone else isn't studying better, another imaginary cheese mistake. "Are you working again...
...performer between 1959 and 1962 that handsome, red-haired John Freeman became a nationwide celebrity though British viewers of his astringent Face to Face interview show each week seldom saw anything but the back of his head as the cameras zoomed in for closeups of the object of his relentless inquisitorial style. One TV star burst into tears when questioned about his homosexual inclinations.

King and others sold thousands of records in the black ghettos of the North and dusty darktowns of the South. Depits its success in black communiites, it was considered too raw, earthy and sexual for the white teenage audience...
...often had doubts about intermarriage between the generations. The Talmud warns that "the Lord will not pardon him" who marries his daughter to an old man or takes a wife for his infant son. Literature abounds with bawdy cautionary tales describing the jealous geriatric husband and his ripe, relentless bride. For all the sniggers, though, older men have historically married much younger women. Given the hazards of childbearing until 50 or 60 years ago, it was not unusual for a man to bury one or two young wives. In those days, death provided the variety now offered by divorce...
