Last night, RPI looked like it might escape with a win in the series' opening game, despite the hole it dug for itself early on. Meanwhile, Harvard became the living embodiement of Robert Frost's "Fire and Ice," playing like the devil in the first period and then transforming into Mr. Freeze in the final 40 minutes...
...Dukakis after Iowa, New Hampshire fits Robert Frost's definition of home as "the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in." The mood and tenor of his campaign changed as soon as he arrived, particularly in the Manchester neighborhood where his Greek-immigrant father Panos first settled in 1912. Dukakis appeared able to relax now that he no longer had to purport to be fascinated with Iowa farm problems or subdue his natural 78- r.p.m. speech rhythms. While he did not fully abandon his innate caution, he did seem more adept at sniping...
...glossolalia. Robertson, on the other hand, despite his prickliness about being called a television evangelist these days, has been captured on video showing all his Pentecostal fervor. The networks last week showed clips of him waving his arms as he spoke of curing hemorrhoids. In an interview with David Frost that aired this Sunday, Robertson defended the time he prayed on his television show to divert the course of Hurricane Gloria, adding of the storm's subsequent shift toward New York, "I think it was divine intervention." Bringing the Holy Ghost in on the cure for hemorrhoids seems...
Bush's campaign maintains that he decided against participating in the "Candidates '88" interview series because of scheduling pressures. Barbara Pardue, Bush's press secretary, points out that the candidate has been interviewed by David Frost and Barbara Walters and appeared on NBC's Meet the Press. Yet the "half day" Pardue said it would take Bush to "do a good job" on Kalb's hour-long program, which is taped in the Kennedy School's Arco Forum and broadcast on PBS, shouldn't be difficult to find in the schedule of a candidate who all but resides in neighboring...
...these are nothing compared with the extremes in him, in brave, dumb Captain Midlife, jogging with the kids, exhaling frost; or out on the town, red-mufflered to the eyes, a Scotch ad beaming with conventional merriment. Inside his aching, brooding head, a mess of city-dump proportions. He crouches in the mind's attic like one of those soldiers who are never told that the war is over, and reads that Michael Korda, a modern adviser on how to live, says that by the time one reaches one's 40s, all emotional and professional problems should be settled...
