Brown, M.I.T., and Rhode Island will oppose the locals. Harvard boats will clash with M.I.T.'s top skipper, Ted Garcia, last week's McMillan Cup winner...
...translation from the French by Irving Yoskowitz and John Bowman is in good style (in spite of an occasional clash like "yearn to earn"). These gentlemen are also chiefly responsible for the attractive staging and fast pace of the production.

Even assuming that Dorgan et al. are sincere, there are few less open to reason than "righteous" fanatics whatever their locus on the political spectrum. We are not at all convinced that Messrs. Dorgan and Robertson are unrepresentative of the unintelligent approach of at least some of the importantly placed leaders...
