Farrell, an English major at Winthrop House, has had some prior experience in the medium, having filmed three half-hour satirical movies starring his high-school friends since the age of 15. But the movie he made last summer involved professional actors, lasted two hours, and will soon appear on cable...
Richard Dreyfuss, who plays a fledgling inventor/author doubling as an elementary school security guard to make ends meet, comes up with some pretty witty lines. Susan Sarandon complements him, as the neurotic failure who flunks her state court reporting test seven consecutive times and is left by a high-school sweetheart to raise a son.

He was Harvard's starting center in a pre-season scrimmage against Boston College and a game against the U.S. Olympic hockey team. He said last night he did not know how soon he will be able to play again...
