...group plans to use the Stadium, or an alternative, until its proposed permanent home is built in Newton, a project that Sullivan also heads. However, if the Harvard Athletic Association expressed concern "that we would stay for two years, then pull out, we would be glad to continue use of the Stadium as long as the HAA wished...
Many comedians are prolific brand-name droppers. Gagged Bob Hope recently: "The NBC peacock is really a plucked pigeon with a Clairol rinse." Jerry Lewis punched out a joke with the tag line, "Look, Mom, no cavities!"-which happens to be a slogan of Crest toothpaste. Steve Allen built a skit around Colgate's toothpaste ingredient, Gardol, and the Three Stooges built an act around Polaroid cameras.

Instead, Saarinen had produced two irregular structures of crescents and courts built of earthy, monolithic masonry. For the exterior walls, he devised a method of rubblestone construction that would do away with expensive hand labor. Stones varying in size from three to eight inches are placed in wood forms; then cement mortar is pumped in through hoses. Before the cement has completely...
