RRRrrroooaaaadddd TT-trrriiipppp!!!!! Ah, the call of the wild is in the air again as hundreds of bleary eyed and book-weary Harvardians get set to stream out of Cambridge this week for the annual Spring break. But for eight dauntless Ivy Leaguers and their willing coach, the traditional exodus has a special significance. To the Harvard varsity golf team, it means the linksters will once again put the pedal to the metal and the wood to the ball and ease on down the road towards the Florida panhandle for a full week of tourney action against some of that...
...season started off well for the Crimson. The racquetmen opened the year against Amherst and yawned their way to a 9-0 win. They followed up that performance with identical 9-zip squashings of a potentially-strong Army squad and a predictably-weak Trinity nine. After the Christmas break, Harvard ousted Williams 7-2, setting the stage for "The Weekend," a double-bagger road trip against Navy and Princeton...
...film stars Jane Fonda as a television news reporter for a Los Angeles station who wants desperately to break out of fluffy features and into hard news. Jack Lemmon plays the supervisor of a nuclear plant's control room and Michael Douglas plays the free-lance cameraman who secretly films Lemmon and his control panel during a near-disaster at the plant. Fonda and Lemmon are well-known supporters of liberal causes and are both outspoken opponents of nuclear power. Douglas, however, is not a political activist and as producer of the film, has a considerable financial stake...
...lead, but more importantly, solid backchecking and clutch defense kept the slightly nervous (at first) Gaudet from being too severely tested. Everything hung together for the Big Green until 8:32 of the second, when a miserably-timed line and defense change gave UNH a three-on-zero break and a tie game. The Wildcats needed only 37 seconds to go out in front, but Dartmouth fought back until Steve Higgins made the match, as Bud Collins would say, "dead even" with less than 14 minutes left in regulation...
Brumit offers glimpses of a variety of modern interpretations, and sticks to none. Raymond Sepe plays Alfred--the Italian tenor who can't control the urge to break forth in snatches of every showpiece aria in the book--like a disco cruiser hoping to score; William Walton at one point debases Eisenstein to use Steve Martin's "wild and crazy guy" line; and Mary Ann Martini gives Prince Orlofsky a German-accented sadism that's hard to take along with Strauss's froth...
