Radcliffe took Caroline Kennedy this year, but turned down kin of Katherine Hepburn. Harvard also turned a cold shoulder to the lights of show biz when it turned down Gregory Peck's son. Peck, following in a long line of disappointed fathers, called the admissions office to find out why. "My answer to these people," Reardon said, "is this is a fallible committee. We're not like the Pope. It could be wrong, but this is the decision of the committee...
...less walls and chill dampness, this student becomes lost in visions of refrigerators crammed with roast beef and coke, cupboards overflowing with Oreo cookies and cinnamon buns, trays filled with chocolate candies and salted peanuts (and perhaps marmalade candies if it's Passover). A late night movie starring Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy is on the living room television as the student fixes himself a salami and cheese sandwich with a pickle on the side (Mom and Dad have gone to sleep an hour ago).

But who cares? His nostalgic Edwardian romance is just a charming conceit designed to bring Hepburn, 65, and Olivier, 67, together. The director is Veteran George Cukor, 75, whose cutting and camera placements impart a subtle tension (and an air of elegant craftsmanship) above and beyond the call of television duty. Indeed, all three conspire to make Costigan...
