Reed Eichner led the onslaught as he has in most of the Harvard efforts, registering a time of 31:25 over the 10,000 meter course. Murphy followed barely a second behind, while Noel Scidmore turned in a surprisingly fine performance, completing the course third...
Mathematically, McKay's reckonings are right. But his plans to establish a thriving humstead naturally go wrong, and this is the matter of Thomas McMahon's fine, small, funny second novel. McMahon is a professor of applied mechanics and biology at Harvard. Nine years ago. he wrote Principles of American Nuclear Chemistry: A Novel.

There is also an unexpectedly fine turn from John Davidson, whose Vegas slickness dissipates when he leads the chorus in Oklahoma! Only Carol Burnett and Sandy Duncan disappoint: their broad delivery blunts the wit and anger of two Sondheim songs from Company...
