Cornell has Bill Arthur, who is not exactly another Gary Wood. He is not a strong passer, but should contribute significantly to the ground attack. Also a possible replacement for the graduated Bill Robertson is Rick Furbish, a former end. Clearly, there is not another Brian Dowling at Yale. Probably there is not another Brian Dowling anywhere, whatever that means. His primary backup man. Bob Bayless, is no longer at Yale for academic reasons. At the moment, the two top candidates are Joe Massey and Chuck Sizemore. Massey earned experience on the junior varsity last year. Sizemore, a sophomore, passes...
...Louvre's main sections: French Medieval, Egyptian, Ancient Oriental and Greco-Roman. It was a sight to glad den any ordinary rider's eye, and even more pleased was the man behind the-innovation. He is André Malraux, Minister of Culture, and his efforts to re furbish the famed museum itself have been nicely complemented by the un derground mini-Louvre.

But What a Way itself is so extravagantly overdrawn that the audience well may wonder where parody leaves off and plot begins. To furbish a frail spoof with all that Hollywood upholstery seems a bit like crossing a mountain stream aboard the Queen Mary-and why bother? Shirley MacLaine is a girl who can go for miles just paddling her own canoe...
...ideal solution is to make a new version of one of the better shows (such as La Belle Helene): in Agate's words, "to furbish up the old sparkle and avoid substituting a new one, to stick to the operette and to keep the thing French." The solution arrived at for "Albert Marre's production," as the current venture is billed, is to tinker and tamper and mess and fuss and fiddle and diddle and hope for the best. The result not surprisingly, is a galimafree, or, as we say in America, a hash...
