...right off I will admit that I enjoy Christmas much more than Hannukah. I hate holidays that change dates from year to year; it is confusing enough to have Massachusetts celebrate Veterans Day three weeks later than the rest of the country, but Hannukah is a bit much. The only thing the holiday satisfies is my pyromaniac tendency--being the second of five kids, my opportunities to light the Hannukah candles may be limited now, but for a while there, I had the market cornered. For quite a while, you see, my older sister was afraid to light a match...
...videotape machine will force homeowners in the future to build their own "media centers" to accomodate the television and its ever-growing number of accessories. But, until the price of the videotapes comes down some from the $1000 mark, shouts of a video revolution are probably a bit premature.

...Tempest, an Adams-Quincy effort currently running in the Quincy dining hall.

...play. Gondoliers was written to have no shining stars (Gilbert created seventeen leads in a fit of pique that members of D'Oyly Carte Opera Co. had just won large pay raises.) At least on stage, lovers tend to display stalwart sincerity--such unchanging goodness making them a bit dull. operetta has not just one cooing couple but three. It does not have to be so monotonous: only Luiz and Casilda (ably played by Willy Falk and Linda Cameron) need stand out as the sincere romantic leads. Faced with the prospect of renouncing principles for great wealth and wives...
Harvard appeared a bit frazzled at this point, and the Terriers struck paydirt again at 3:35, with Lamby catching Hynes without his stick, and very befuddled. Hynes stopped a David Silk wrister with his face mask. The rebound went to Fidler, who fed Lamby at the point. B.U. 3, Harvard...
