...running game happens to lag, Joe Restic may Multiflex with some play-action aerials to the likes of solid senior tight end Paul Sablock (17 receptions last year) and split end candidates Rich Horner and John MacLeod (a split end converted to safety, then back to split end when Gary Confer bagged football for academics...
...residential housing--women have attended classes at Harvard since World War Two. Last year Radcliffe signed an agreement with Harvard which put into writing some financial arrangements, and acknowledged that in fact, Harvard would take care of undergraduate education for women. Now, the President of Radcliffe, Matina Horner, is happy, she says, because her role has been more clearly defined. You will probably hear a lot about Radcliffe this fall as it begins to celebrate its 100th birthday. The Centennial Drive is expected to raise a lot of money, of course...
...this meeting you, will be offically welcomed to Harvard-Radcliffe by President Bok and Radcliffe President Horner. Derek Bok is an interesting guy. He's paid to look good and talk smooth. And you might see him two or three times more, with luck, before you graduate. Dean Henry Rosovsky will give an address, which promises be a million laughs.

Horan would be the focus of the production were it not for Diane Venora's wonderful portrayal of Mafgery...
...fortunate, too, that the Loeb cast is so accomplished, because Wycherly's jokes have a tendency to fall flat on a 20th century audience. Almost nobody in the audience got the humor in the repeated references (i.e. Horner's name) to horns, cuckolds and the like, which is not so much a comment on their ignorance as an example of the changes in humor over 300 years. Cuckold jokes were a scream in 1675, but they are an anachronism now. Moreover, words don't mean the same things now as they did then. When Sparkish calls Horner "the sign...
