...power struggle continues as Somoza appears intent on keeping Nicaragua in the hands of the family. His 27-year-old son, Major Anastasio Somoza III '73 and Somoza's brother-in-law and ambassador to Washington, Guillermo Sevilla Sacasa, are reportedly the designated heirs to the throne. Sources in Nicaragua say that key civilian and military elements within the regime agree with the opposition that such blatant continuation of family rule cannot be allowed...
Unfortunately, he is also an obsessed football coach. So intent upon proving to the Woody Hayeses, Johnny Majorses and Bear Bryants of the football world that his multiflex is a great offense, Restic appears blind to the fact that perhaps Harvard should not have used that particular alignment this year. And if Restic honestly believed, after the loss of Tim Davenport in the Columbia game, that he should have continued with the multi-flex, I would contend that he does not fully understand his own creation...

Bibi Andersson is pallid by comparison, a picture-postcard beauty who recites her lines without the intent to lacerate-rather strange considering her snake-fanged delivery as a wife in Ingmar Bergman's Scenes from a Marriage. Eileen Atkins is in Von Sydow's league. She encases herself in a palpable shield of silence and then hurls her lines like javelins dead on the mark...
