...have an extremely successful year--he was hurt in early March and missed a couple of weeks at the end of the regular season with a nagging back injury. But the Crimson's rise to national prominence started in February at the national indoor championships in Louisville, Kent., where the unranked Crimson upset three of its four opponents to forge its way into the top 10. And it was Shyjan, the Harvard Crimson sophomore of the year, who started the momentum by winning the two biggest single matches of the Crimson's season in February...
...study the law. Admission would not be easy after his admittedly poor academic performance at DePauw, but here a personal contact was helpful. He knew the admissions director of the Indiana University law school in Indianapolis -- through his family, as he knew most older people. This admissions director, Kent Frandsen, was a judge in the little town of Lebanon, outside Indianapolis. Another prominent citizen there was Quayle's grandmother, Martha Pulliam, who was given the Lebanon paper as her own in the divorce. (She was the one Quayle would live with.)

Riding a nearly 2-to-1 lead over his nearest rival, Texas Railroad Commissioner Kent Hance, into this week's G.O.P. election, he seemed a good bet to win outright, avoiding a runoff. One recent poll shows him going on to beat handily any candidate the Democrats nominate...
...emphasizing the comic value of Kent and the other callers, however, director Dan Balsam loses some of the critical edge of the play. Bogosian does not seem to intend to de-emphasize the horror of this culture, and the problem with Talk Radio is its overemphasis on the comic at the expense of the work's critical purpose. The serious mood with which the show closes does not adequately redirect the focus of the audience...
