...together in a two-woman show on Broadway. And so it finally happened in a one-night benefit replete with hoops and hoopla and costumes from South Pacific, Gypsy and, of course, Hello, Dolly! Briefly joining the high jinks onstage were the likes of Yul Brynner, Burgess Meredith, Joel Grey and Geoffrey Holder-who kicked up their heels in an all-male chorus line. When it was over, Ethel, 68, sighed, "Fm on Cloud Nine," and Mary. 63, was still savoring the roars of the audience. "It was like we had hit twelve home runs at Yankee Stadium." Naturally there...
...like forcing an elephant to do the Hokey-Pokey while spanning the rails in Park St. Under (a game young hooligans call "Shredding the Elephant"). The attempt to institutionalize anarchy deprives anarchy of its essence, and like all large animals, the institution has a tendency to evolve into a grey amblypod with a withered proboscis: prodded by clowns and stampeded by mice.

The Lampoon may be an elephant, but HRBSA isn't mouse enough to take it on, and neither organization can hope to match the grey hulk of Harvard. It's yet another example of Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum twiddling each others' twaddle...
...Freedberg replaced the small medieval works with larger seventeenth century canvases--a group which is better fitted to the room and more representative of the Fogg's strengths. (The early Renaissance works, among them gilded gems such as Fra Angelico's Crucifixion, are now contained in a small grey-blue jewelbox of a gallery upstairs...
