...students should reaffirm that commitment this year. Over and above its procedural inequities, the CRR offends basic standards of political freedom; the idea that a university should have a political police is abhorrent. We hope the Faculty Council will finally recommend to the full Faculty that this sick dog of an organization at last be put out of its misery. And as for students, the CRR boycott is a proud--and effective--legacy of the years of political activism at Harvard and one that today's students should uphold...
...just look funny. Jack Lemmon: personification of the Excedrin headache, his sinus cavities almost visible, the corners of his mouth wrenched in a clown's grimace as the voice machine-guns a blast of staccato croaks.

In his singing and dancing debut, Martin goes through paces with the game energy of Dr. Johnson's dog, and the other stars seem weighed down by the movie's megabudget. Only Vernel Bagneris-with his dusky sensitivity and a body that moves through his soft-shoe number like a Slinky on an escalator-develops a strong personality. Visually too Pennies is of two minds: Ken Adam's precisely gaudy sets need megawatt illumination...
