...fill in anyone who didn't hike over to the Science Center, the evening's entertainment was a screening of the classic melodrama, accompanied by running commentary from a chorus of Crimson Key members. During the film's first hour, most comments were sophomoric but harmless, consisting largely of sexual innuendoes and repeated references to the lead actress' ostensible ugliness. Several shouts foreshadowed the cancer that, by reel three, would take the young woman's life. As the disease progressed, a similar malignancy claimed the commentators' attempts at humor: as the hero aided his limping wife through a snowy lawn...
...same auditorium only two days before. Professor Coles spoke of the emptiness of knowledge and intelligence devoid of moral character and respect for life, and declared it a source of the supreme dehumanization of fascism. His warnings evidently wore off rather quickly. The pitiless cynicism of the "Love Story" chorus was a macabre and frightening celebration of inhumanity, and it was a disgrace. Jedediah Purdey...

And last week, even before he arrived at the White House for a sun-soaked Rose Garden ceremony, Freeh was being hailed in a chorus of praise as an ideal choice to be the Federal Bureau of Investigation's next director. In nominating the 43-year-old judge, President Bill Clinton called Freeh "a law-enforcement legend." That sounded like silly hype, except that Clinton's assessment was matched by so many others, including those of Democrats and Republicans...
