Diamond, who had had the misfortune of covering one of the worst Yale teams in over 20 years, was hardly in a hurry. His date wanted another rye and ginger, mine wanted another whiskey sour, and I wanted to stay away from Boston Garden and the ECAC playoff consolation round as long as possible...
John Bonham's drum solo, "Moby Dick," is another failure.

They are all standing, sitting, or lounging in what looks like a long pink powder room. Their cushions are velvet. And they're all in stunning silky gowns. They're beautiful. They're all smiling...
