...DANCE IS TO PLAY, and to play is to be a kid. This is the message of CityStep, a dance theater production directed and choreographed by Sabrina T. Peck '84.

Though prospects for a complete recovery of speech and mental functions remained slight, doctors were once again talking about transferring Schroeder to the transitional home, perhaps as early as this week...
...Allen saw in Daniels was a performer with the rare gift of going goofy without losing his romantic appeal. "This is the guy everyone has been looking for: the guy who can do light comedy. There were these players years ago, like Cary Grant, William Powell, Robert Montgomery. This kid is our version of that in the best sense...
