...bragged to friends about strangling his former girlfriend, and then invited them out to see the body. One onlooker tossed a stone at the corpse; another helped to hide it; for two days no one notified the authorities. These were not hardened ex-convicts or members of a motorcycle gang. They were teen-age students at Milpitas High School. Anthony Broussard was 16, and the dead girl, Marcy Renee Conrad, was just 14. Even while they try to understand the nature of such a horror, California juvenile officials are now considering a confounding legal question: Should the alleged killer...
...hard to pin down exactly why the Leverett gang can't meet even these relatively simple challenges. The music alone hints at the exuberance that must permeate other productions. But disappointingly, dancers and actors prance through hackneyed plot twists with situation-comedy blocking, alternately mouthing highflown platitudes and one-liners till any tension, believeable motivation or even logical flow becomes lost in confusion...

Also, the crowds just don't rate anymore.

The Crimson cheering section last night consisted of seats four through seven in Row E, Section 4, plus a few scattered singles. How quickly people forget. After all, Walter Brown was Harvard's home-for-a-year in 1978, while Watson rink was transformed into Bright Center...
...from which they spoke. Yet at heart, the dealers remained kids who believed they would never be caught. The downhill slide started when Steinberg directed one operation from a Fort Lauderdale hotel room. Calls to his extension tied up the entire switchboard; a suspicious owner called the police. The gang scrambled out the windows but left behind marijuana, 7 Ibs. of cocaine (value: $180,000) and $1.2 million in cash, plus meticulous account books and records. It took police a year to trap Steinberg...
