Whatever others think of him, there is no denying that Leiken is, as Elliott Abrams, the Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs, puts it, "an important player." This week the House of Representatives reconsiders the Reagan Administration's contra aid package. If it is passed, the White House will owe a measure of thanks to Leiken. Through his testimony on the Hill and his published arguments, he has played a significant role in developing the compromise bill that was passed three weeks ago by the Senate. The Reagan Administration hopes that this bill will be similarly palatable...

Perhaps the Crimson need not worry about the absence of Elliott Rivera, Scott Vierra, Jay McNamara and Mickey Maspons, last year's seniors who accounted for half of the squad's home run total. With the three round-trippers off Friar pitching yesterday, Harvard has raised its home run total to five after only four games...

They meet over dinner at the Pensione Bertolini, a home away from home for respectable English tourists, managed, appropriately enough, by a cockney signora.

Harvard used the southern swing as a chance to test its depleted pitching staff and work out a couple of other questions in the lineup--including the situation at the corners. First sacker Elliott Rivera and third baseman Scott Vierra--who combined for 90 hits and a .356 batting average last year--both graduated, and the batsmen are still not set with definite replacements at those positions...

...does in this movie version of Forster's minor and diverting novel. The formality of James Ivory's style suits this spirit admirably, counterpointing and controlling the theatrical overplaying he encourages among his players. Maggie Smith as Lucy's dithering chaperone is marvelous, and so is Denholm Elliott, blustering common sense as George's father. Daniel Day Lewis as the well-named Vyse is terminally repressed, and Helena Bonham Carter establishes herself here (and in the recent Lady Jane) as one of the screen's most intriguing newcomers. No one plays adolescent petulance better just now; no one better understands...
