...Princeton game. I didn't have a particularly good day throwing the ball. The score was 6-6, and it was 3rd -and-11 or something. And I scrambled and broke a few tackles to pick up the first down and keep the drive going. I think that was pretty big. We had two receivers to the left, one to the right. I was looking to throw a 12-yard out route to T.P. [senior receiver Terence Patterson]. [Princeton] dropped the linebacker underneath him, and I just started rolling his way, hoping he'd find a way to get open...
...when Menick and Patterson, as expected, broke the Harvard records for career rushing and career receptions, respectively, the Crimson offense completely rewrote the school record book. Despite playing only three quarters, Wilford completed 26-of-34 passes for 398 yards, eclipsing the previous record by 46 yards. Harvard also broke modern league records for points and total yards (640). Menick rushed for four touchdowns and 120 yards on 22 attempts, and Morris, Cremarosa and receiver Andy Fried all had their biggest games of the season...

Now that the two have joined practices for a movie, they are playing somewhat neurotic characters themselves. In the upcoming Showtime film How Doc Waddems Finally Broke a 100, Newhart plays golf enthusiast Waddems, a mild-mannered orthodontist bent on shattering that score. He finds a hazard in partner Howard Greene (Grammer), an overly fastidious interpreter of the game's rules, and the good walk turns murderous. Newhart, an avid golfer, claims his game surpasses that of the character he plays...
...whine into the telephone at Rob Glaser, founder and CEO of Real Networks. I am very agitated, O.K.? I admit it. Last week The New York Times broke a story reporting that RealJukebox, one of the most popular pieces of music-playing software on the Net, is a secret...
