...Leisinger, a boyish, crew-cut math teacher at Boston State College, is organizing this expedition. It is learned that a couple of thousand have gathered in Southie to greet the buses and Leisinger says, "We're not out to fight, but we're not pacifists, either. You don't fight racism because it's a moral issue, but because it's a life and death issue." He is a very nice guy. He's very friendly and talkative, though he doesn't say that the Progressive Labor Party is behind CAR. By 12:50, the affair is over, and Jeff...
Saying No. Weekends in January and early February, Boulac and his fellow coaches gather at Michiana Regional Airport in South Bend to greet prospects flown in for a packed round of parties, sumptuous meals, meetings with admissions officers and chats with Devine. Boulac admits that all this courting could leave a 17-year-old limp, particularly if ten or 15 schools are hot after him. "The toughest thing for a kid today," says Boulac, "is to say no. When a coach comes 1,000 miles to see you at home, it's hard to say you're going...
Thus were seven weeks of rumors dissipated in a puff of smoke. Since Brezhnev vanished from public view on Dec. 24, he has been widely reported to be medically and politically moribund. Some Kremlinologists predicted that if he failed to greet Wilson, who was making his first state visit to Moscow in seven years, that would confirm the direst of long-distance diagnoses. On the eve of the British Prime Minister's visit, the respected Paris daily Le Monde cited "informed Soviet sources" as saying that Brezhnev had suffered a "brutal" relapse from cancer, or, alternatively, cardiovascular disease. Other...
Seven national championships were at stake in the snow-covered countryside outside Putney, Vt., last week, but nobody except the contestants seemed to care. There was no grandstand at the finish line, only a dozen spectators and race officials were on hand to greet the racers, and no one offered the finishers so much as a cup of hot chocolate. In fact, one Putney resident passing by did not even know that the U.S. National Cross-Country Championship Races, the big so-called nordic skiing event of the year, were taking place almost in her backyard...
Good News might be the ideal way to greet the New Year - if only this were 1927. After nearly a year on the road, the revivalists have managed to iron out all the show's wrinkles. They are now presenting them onstage. The ancient flapdoodle of a plot (updated to the mid-'30s) hinges upon the success of a college football team, a situation the Marx Brothers sent up for ever in Horse Feathers of 1932. The De Sylva, Brown & Henderson score, much of it shanghaied from other mu sicals, is loaded with bolts of melody...
