...have to admit it ... I went into the experience with my Cynic Ray set to stun. I had visions of Michael Jackson teaching HAL the computer to moonwalk, Coppola making a cameo appearance as Jabba the Hut belching 3-D jelly donuts, all to the tune of "Billy Jean," with brand new Eastman-Kodak lyrics...
...museum, for all to admire but for none to touch. Students, considered in the Rosovsky scenario as the most fleeting and least vital operatives at Harvard, had another little celebration later in the fall and most did not even attend the September party.

...about tackling the finer arts. "I didn't know if I'd want to run around in public with tights on," concedes Gault, who nevertheless wants "to be an actor on the big screen." Or at least the big stage. Two days after his terpsichorean debut, Gault played a cameo role in a Chicago production of Singin' in the Rain. How're they going to get him back on the field...
