With the championships approaching, Cornell's Coach Harrison ("Stork") Sanford had a varsity crew that rowed as though its shell had a lead keel. Cornell had raced only once this year, finishing a poor second to Navy over a short course. Indeed, Sanford's varsity could not even beat the Cornell junior varsity crew; the jayvees twice won practice races last week by three lengths. To Sanford, there was only one logical answer: he made the jayvees the varsity, keeping only one man from the old crew...

Carol Lawrence and Howard Keel are agreeable leads, but to little avail. With none of the succulence of a great big old-fashioned dinner, Saratoga induces all of the somnolence...
...does not yet live up to its magnificent settings. With a $1,500,000 advance sale, Saratoga is sure of a long Broadway run, but Harold Arlen's music needs all the help it can get from Singer Carol (West Side Story) Lawrence and Howard (Kiss Me Kate) Keel.

Overseeing all is an electronic brain named "Big Brother" that tells Schlieker which machines have not worked at full capacity and why. From keel to launching, Willy can build a 20,000-ton vessel in three months. This year 170,000 tons will slide down his ways...
