...strike had a substantial impact in several departments, however, where teaching fellows successfully closed down large lecture courses or professors agreed to cancel classes for the duration of the strike. All 14 lab instructors in Biology 2, one of the largest pre-med courses, walked off the job and closed down all labs for the week. Three introductory Anthropology lecture courses, most Sociology tutorials, and about half the sections in Economics 10 stopped meeting because of the strike...
...Director Zieff does not make the fantasy of the script quite abstract enough, nor his odd, self-consciously cute characters quite believable enough. Whimsy and reality, neither fully realized, cancel each other out. Caan, a perennially baffled ex-con, basically plays straight man to Boyle as a bunko artist-bandleader and Lasser as the band leader's addled spouse, both of whom are amiably funny throughout.

And so, it seemed, the Administration had actually done, if you compare the day to World War I, when The Crimson got Dean Briggs out of bed to cancel the athletic program. But the sneak attack took the country by surprise, and it was only in the coming weeks and months that the University would swing into a wartime stance. The University ran a summer term in 1942, and The Crimson ran a summer paper, on a three time a week basis...
