...fate as citizens of a great republic and watchers of "Laverne and Shirley," Dewitt highly recommends Salvador (Somerville Theater). This tale of unethical U.S. involvement in Central America came out last year--in an era when "Bonzo" films ruled the land--and drew a very small though politically conscious audience. In fact, its only major run in Boston was at the Orson Welles Theater in Cambridge, an edifice that subsequently burned down, although Dewitt has it on good authority that the film exercised no jinxing effect in that accident...
...poked constant fun at himself. His little-boy smirkiness brought out maternal feelings in women twice his age and eventually in women half his age.

"That's probably as attributable to the fact that no divestment activist has forced the issue as to Eisert's handling of the issue," he says. Smith says this council has made a conscious effort to focus attention on the student body and cited the alcohol policy and extension of the dining hall hours by 15 minutes as a "big plus for the campus...
...ONLY WAY to break the Hyperbolic Habit is to make the professors conscious of it. To this end I suggest the introduction of large electronic scoreboards into lecture halls. The boards will use multi-colored light bulbs to keep track of "as-it-weres," "quote-unquotes," "so-to-speaks," and other annoying phrases or meaningless digressions during lecture...
