These are real groaners, which is to say, exactly what Pudding audiences are after. Unfortunately, Saint Misbehavin' doesn't deliver the inside Harvard humor of past theatricals. The obligatory Wellesley gag-which I wouldn't give away if it weren't so lame-comes when the evil Nurse Dwyer threatens to send Emmanuelle Leighbor (Carl "B.J."

In fact, demand for IV drug-abuse treatment in New York increased after the news about AIDS hit the streets. "It is a classic case of a lesser evil," says the Rev. Roger Shinn, professor emeritus of social ethics at Manhattan's Union Theological Seminary. "The end, limiting the spread of AIDS, might justify the means, supplying needles to addicts...
