...even looked like there might be some Crimson magic at work when freshman Jean-Marc Chapus came from nowhere to sprint away with the 200-meter dash (21-6) late in the meet. His win put Harvard ahead, 73-72, with two events left...
...Crimson has no time to spare getting in stride for the season. Like the dash, the spring season is an all-out race from the gun. But while Harvard sits in the blocks, the only word you can use to describe this team is "maybe...
...never have heard of "pace," as it is indiscriminate throughout, with most scenes (such as "The Sneeze") unbearably slow and mis-timed. When a scene crackles and takes off, it is usually the result of a good performance; Jeff Harper, for example, who performs three startingly different roles with dash, bravura, and intelligence, is largely responsible for bringing off "The Drowned Man," an amusing episode about a sailor who'll drown himself for 60 kopecks.

The show is expected to appear in June. Executive Producer Bob Shanks (ABC's Good Morning, America, public television's Great American Dream Machine) has approached at least a dozen candidates for the host job, including Washington Post Executive Editor Ben Bradlee, who turned down a $5,000-a-week salary and a promise that he could...
