...middle road. The same comparison holds in politics; there are no "Communist-front" clubs in New Haven. The ideal of all Eli students is a single mythical "Yale Man," the target of almost everyone's aspirations.

Before law & order can be restored, various good & bad actors are plugged through the heart, shot in the back, or, like Barrymore, simply wounded. The girl (Cathy Downs) suffers through every...
...alma mater, Springfield, had a good team, and that this was a "must game" if the varsity expects to do much against Williams, Dartmouth, and Yale. But Munro added that "it should be another even game this year. As far as I'm concerned we have a better all-round club this season...
