...next morning, Ohio State fired its fallen idol. Kelton Dansler, one of the coach's top linebackers, later tried to find the right words for what had happened. Loyally, he called Woody Hayes a "great man," but then he said of his coach: "He pushed a little too hard and tried to hang on a little too long." That was summing it all up as kindly as possible...
...young couple, Nick (Richard Kelton) and Honey (Maureen Anderman), who join them for a savage 2 a.m.-to-5 a.m. session of show-and-tell are simply deployed by George and Martha as fodder for their internecine warfare.
