...Huskies struck for their only two runs off Don Driscoll in the third. Mike Archambault doubled to knock in one, and later crossed the plate himself as big (6 ft. 3 in., 235 pounds) Mel "Nanook of the North" Seibolt drove him in with a single from the designated hitter spot. Seibolt's shot was the fourth for Northeastern, but Driscoll settled in and allowed only two more the rest...
Thal continually drove Schaffer all over the court with well-placed shots, often forcing her opponent into making off-balanced, high-lobbing returns which Thal converted into carefully-angled shallow shots that Schaffer couldn't manage to reach...
ABOUT a hundred yards down the road, I knew Kenny only drove his motorcycle one speed. Since I had to hold on to the handgrip with one hand, that left only one hand to hold on to the eggs.

Terry Hinz is perfect as the boyish paterfamilias, but one remembers especially the dazed, inward quality of Mary Wright as Mrs. Andersson. Hers is a portrait of private, immigrant pride, of anyone who ever tried to live with dignity in a new language...
