Consider then Act I: It's nine o'clock in the morning as Emily (played by Sada Thompson, who'll also assume the other three female roles as the play progresses) moves into her new, four-room apartment with the aid of Frank, her mover (Nicholas Coster). Emily has lost her husband. A widow then? Frank asks. "Well, I don't mean I lost him on the street," she quickly answers. I am, myself, divorced, Frank hastens to explain. And with that the two enter into a conspiracy to fill each other in on the details of their lives before...

Both work in the theater; Delaney's A Taste...
...team they must play boasts a coster fully as impressive as its record. Defenseman Tom Martin, all all-American last year, may well be as good as any player to skate on Watson ice since the clearys, and the linemen he plays behind are all excellent in their own right: Billy Daly, B.C.'s first line center and high scorer, is a strong contender for all-American honors this year, and Owen Hughes, whom his coach describes as the "best defensive wing in college hockey today," has the distinction of turning in a hat trick against St. Lawrence. The third...
