Senior Fritz Schwartz is Love's choice to stroke the varsity, a choice made only four days ago. Schwartz's bladework cannot be called the best, but he has, as Love calls it, "the indefinable quality of making the boat go." Last year's varsity stroke, Carlo Zezza, is currently on the third boat...
...Ventriloquist, which tells the story of a voice-thrower whose soul is tormented by two dummies representing love and hate. The tape-recorded orchestra accompanies the singers in fantasy scenes while a piano takes over during the here-and-now sequences.

Fido waited all night under the bus parked in the square, and he went back to meet the bus again on the next night and the next and the next. Each night from then on, as 13 years passed, Fido met the bus from San Lorenzo and waited patiently under it for his master. The local butcher gave him meat and bones to support his vigil. Villagers greeted him with cheering words. Sometimes, on chilly nights, the bus company even permitted...
