...what if the Ivy League doesn't exactly scare Notre Dame in football? Columbia's fencers are the best in the U.S. So, probably, are Yale's swimmers: what other team can boast a man (Don Schollander) who won four gold medals at the 1964 Olympics? Then there are Cornell's hockey players and Pennsylvania's league champion basketball team. From now on, though, nobody will know for sure how good any of the Ivy athletes are-because last week the league angrily withdrew from all N.C.A.A. championship competition...

One of Eliot's last undertakings was to help choose the excellent cast, which perfectly weaves the shadowy modern drama of sin and expiation. Dame Sybil Thorndike is Amy, the steely dowager who has spent 35 years "designing" her son's life. Paul Scofield plays Harry, the restless, half-mad son who bursts asunder the conventional family gathering, and Flora Robson is Agatha, the all-knowing aunt ("When the loop in time comes...
