...balloons, girls dressed in sequins, girls in high heels clicking along the stage rim, nearly stepping on the ring-siders' elbows. After the updated burlesque comedians, the rubber-legged clown, the croaky grand-opera sextet, the long evening ends with a flourish-figure skaters on a rink the size of the late Serge Rubinstein's bed. Like New York night life itself, all this looks better from a distance. From the back of the huge room, the show seems gay and sexy, but when seen close up, the picture dissolves into the depressing details-forced smiles, smudged...
Though U.S. big-name colleges are deluged with applicants, most of them, fearing loss of quality in size, refuse to expand. Yet all are sure that more Americans need their special academic virtues. One alternative is to start affiliates in distant places-a Yale-in-Denver or a Harvard-in-Dallas...
...designed for a dual role: 1) as preparation for the ensuing day's seminars, and 2) as interesting and informative forums for general attendance.

The Governor's Council and County officials quite correctly see their positions threatened, and many in the 280-large General Court (the third largest legislature in the nation) fear that any reform movement would cut its size.

...question onto the ballot in 1962 and the body would meet in the summer of 1963. In the end it might give the governor and other top executive officers co-terminous 4-year terms and shift the counties' few duties to the state agencies; it might cut the size of the General Court and require it no longer to play town council for every hamlet, passing petitions for dog wardens' tenure and the like, and clogging up its own operations in the process. It would also face the task of providing a new concept for limiting and organizing the proliferous...
