...thought Winfrey might have come on Letterman to plug the musical (one number from which Dave had showcased two weeks ago). Instead, she barely alluded to it. This was strange, since her tub-thumping on her own program a while back generated a $2-million box office blitz the next day.

The Harvard players were also extraordinarily accurate, making 29 of their attempts, while New Hampshire was just 2-6. Junior guard Jim Goffredo led the way for Harvard, shooting a perfect...
