...Samantha Baker's 16th birthday, but her preoccupied parents have forgotten it. Sam (Ringwald) is a sophomore, in strangulated love with a dishy senior (Michael Schoeffling) and shadowed by a crypto-hip freshman called the Geek (Anthony Michael Hall), who, in one of his more winsome moments, asks Sam if he can borrow her underpants.

"I hoped for the big horse, I waited for him." So the trainer was 26 years between Derby starts, and the rider 21 between Derby victories. "I didn't panic," said Shoemaker...
First, they played only Harvard football songs, at least during the two long intervals while we were watching. They had, apparently, forgotten that April 19th 1775, was the occasion being commemorated, not the last Yale game. Or maybe they just don't know anything else...
