...delays in Gilmore's case may transfer to Robert Excel White the lugubrious distinction of becoming the first person executed in the U.S. in nearly a decade. Recently convicted of a triple murder during a shooting spree in Texas, he requested and got an early execution date: Dec. 10.

Mary Soloschin is very funny as a frenetic old miser who heaps up his wealth in storehouses, Michael der Manuelian captures in excruciating grimaces the plight of a parched seed, and Don Marocchio's impersonation of our former president is painfully accurate. Manulis' directorial coup, however, is his dramatization of the parable of the prodigal son, which features strippers enticing the prodigal to the strains of "Hey, Big Spender" and the amazing vocal contortions...
Today will bring the greatest challenge this season to Murphy and her teammates as a strong Yale squad arrives at the IAB for a 5 p.m. showdown. The Eli women excel at long events in contrast to the Radcliffe swimmers, who stand out mostly in the sprints. Since the format of this meet has been altered to cater to long distance events, the home team may have serious problems...
