...gang warfare. Shakespeare's High-Renaissance ardors and angers do not translate into the barbarism of West Side Story any more than did Greek-tragedy incests and betrayals into the primitivism of Arthur Miller's A View from the Bridge. Fire-escape balcony scenes and corner-drugstore Friar Lawrences are not only distracting but tinged with bathos.

Although gowns are not worn here, the Professor quotes the Italian proverb, "The garb doesn't make the friar." Harvard's liberal spirit and conservative facade make this University comfortable and familiar to d'Entreves...
Providence tallied first midway through the second period while Crimson defenseman Laurie Pratt was in the penalty box, and added another five minutes later. The final Friar goal came late in the last period...
