...contest began, Scalise's portentious words, spoken before the opening whistle, Harvard "is cold and flat," seemed only too prophetic. Yale's speedy right wing. Betsy Rapperport, and her counterpart on the left, Nancy Erzwhiler, spearheaded Eli attacks which kept the Crimson deep in their own half of the large field...
...those seniors that Potysman replaced was another out of the "Little Big Man" mould, last year's Captain Billy Emper. Like his Illinoian counterpart. Emper week in and week out had to cover receivers that grotesquely outweighed him and towered over him.

As Sade, George Miller is the clear star of the Loeb show, presenting his cynical vision of humanity with great stage presence...
Mobile missiles are a double-edged sword, however; if they prove reasonably invulnerable for the Americans, they will be equally so for the Russians. Soviet mobile missile technology has progressed even further than its American counterpart, and if the U.S. developed accurate silo-busting missiles, the Soviets would likely respond by putting their land-based missiles on tracks, affording them greater protection.

Idomeneo is written in the style of opera seria, the stilted, ritualistic 18th century Italian counterpart to opera buffa. Even by the time Mozart came of age opera seria was under attack by the reformers...
