...first drive of the final quarter, defensive pass interference against tight end Chuck Marshall moved the Crimson to the Brown 40. Following an incomplete pass, St. John laced a perfect 30-yd. toss to Horner on a post pattern and the split end slipped over the goal line. A fake extra point failed and Harvard trailed...

...Sidney Joseph Perelman first began publishing his superbly crafted hilarity in the pages of The New Yorker. The magazine's readers soon developed a tart tooth for Perelman's brand of satire, a mix of burlesque and Joycean wordplay boldly colored by a fastidious disdain for the fake, the tawdry and the pompous.

...Ramones themselves--bird-like Joey, Johnny with the hair over his eyes, and the other two--steal this scene, and the others they're in. They come across as comical, friendly, even beneficent, despite the leather and fake frozen sneers. A full-fledged Ramones movie starring the band--a sort of latter-day Hard Day's Night--would have made a lot more sense than what director Allan Arkush has given...
