Recurring images in Olmec art--dragons, birds, dwarfs, hunchbacks and, most important, the "were-jaguar" (part human, part jaguar)--indicate a belief in the supernatural and in shamanism. Olmec-style human figures typically have squarish facial features with full lips, a flat nose, pronounced jowls and slanting eyes reminiscent (at least to early travelers in the region) of African or Chinese peoples. Archaeologists have found household objects as well, but they tend to be broken. As a result, laments Joralemon, "we know relatively little about the common Olmec...
Susan Sarandon sat in the back of a red Jaguar convertible, between Hasty Pudding Theatricals President Andrew G. Taylor '96, who was resplendent in purple, and Vice-President Andrew A.

...protege to go. Like Morita and Ohga, Idei is a cosmopolitan blend of East and West. He speaks fluent English and French, loves gadgets and rock 'n' roll, and favors stylish Italian attire.

No one knows her age, but Prize Patrol leader David Sayer notes hopefully that "Nellye...
...meet up with the car dealer who has brought the Jag in from Harrisburg. And then: Showtime. But alas, Prize Patrol history is not to be made. Hall turns out to be a great-grandmother of preternatural calm. Confronted by cameras, hysterical Patrol members, the huge check and the Jaguar, she demurs sweetly: "I don't believe this--I never won anything in my life." No amount of insistent rephrasings of the question "How do you feel?" leads her to either tears or ecstasy. As Sayer will later acknowledge, "If you don't get it in the first couple...
