...defeat may help spur the golfers on in the Eastern Intercollegiate tournament at Penn State on Saturday. "We have to prove that we're better than this," Yellin said. "We got a kick in the ass and maybe it'll help...
Rarely has this been more apparent than at Kael's April 16 appearance at Leverett House. (Of course, the new style of Harvard audience -- spruced up and ready to kiss ass - almost insured the result.) Ms. Kael was introduced by a fellow in a three-piece suit who uttered some innocuous pleasantries about how disappointed he and the others were when Leslie Fiedler and not Kael dominated the podium at a recent PMLA convention.

Saloon singer Sam Golden (Guy Marchand), Truffaut's parodied homage to Bogart and gangsters, a man who can only have sexual intercourse accompanied...
...FOUR erotic scenes in The Last Tango in Paris which are so much more honest than the rest of the film that they should be excised, and exhibited by themselves as masterful short subjects. When Marlon Brando and Maria Schneider screw standing up, or shove each other up the ass with various appendages, or play with tenderness in a bathtub scene, director Bernardo Bertolucci's only intent is to evoke passion, harsh, hot or loving --and his intention is fulfilled...
