“Head and Shoulders”
A haughtily brainy college student on a lark is set up with a singing and dancing beauty. She thaws him and he woos her and the two of them end up married. As they go through life, their positions change, with him as a talented gymnast and her as a critically acclaimed author. The final punch of the story is that it’s all fun for him until his own faculties are dismissed by the public.
