John F. Kennedy '40 made his last visit to Harvard as a football fan. Taking a balmy Staurday afternoon off from politicking and official business, the President attended the first half of the Oct. 19 Harvard-Columbia football game...
...Sincere" song, punctuated by screaming teenagers and collapsing matrons, is easily the high point of the first act. Birdie, about to be drafted, makes a trip to Sweet Apple, Ohio, where he is to bestow his last leering kiss--coast-to-coast--on Kim MacAfee, typical teenage fan (played charmingly by Carol Ketty).

...Fan's Dream. Once in a while, a lucky team lands an angel with bulging pockets-like Stockbroker Bob Nussbaum, who was going to buy a race horse, wound up getting the Chicago Panthers instead. Beside themselves with gratitude, the Panthers elected him coach. When they beat the Elmhurst, Ill., Travelers 41-0 recently, Nussbaum called every play from the bench. "It's a fan's dream," sighs Nussbaum. "Bring on the Green Bay Packers...
