...Professor of Government Harvey C. Mansfield '53 enjoys the sunshine. But there is a deeper dynamic at work, one that would-be opponents ought to notice. First, Mansfield rarely volunteers opinions--they're usually sought from him. But it is his subsequent behavior that is fascinating. For you see, dear Harvey demurs. He appears to want to be loved.

...Crosby style full-born in "I Surrender, Dear" (1931), the first of nine short films he would make for producer Mack Sennett. Already he is cast as himself, sort of: "Bing Crosby."
