...tilt...Speaking of hoop, varsity hoop coach Frank McLaughlin hopes some lanky newcomers can fill the conter-forward void left by graduation. Six-foot, ten-inch Bobby McCabe from Tabor Academy, 6-7 Cave Coatesworth from Seattle, New Haven's Don Fleming (6-5) and North Dakota timberwood Kirk Mundy (6-7), look like promising freshman talent for the front-court...
...garden became an exquisitely balanced artifact: rose arbors, willows, iris beds, raked paths, wisteria, a Japanese bridge and-most rewarding of all to the painter-ponds and water lilies. For the last 20 years of Monet's life, his "harem of nature," as Art Historian Kirk Varnedoe elegantly calls it, needed the services of six gardeners. After his death it began to decay. By 1966, when Monet's only surviving son-the reclusive Michel-died, the place had been closed to visitors, a shambles of rank growth and silted-up ponds. Recently, with a large grant from...
Kristen Laine, returning from a leave of absence, will follow Kerrebrock, while Ann Pawlowsky, who took her freshman year off from crew after stroking the Andover eight as a senior, makes a comeback to rowing in the four-seat. Sophomores Cindy Cohen at five and Kathy Kirk at two, both up from last year's J.V., round out the lineup...

But John Farris' screenplay turns the sumptuous ingredients into--well, nothing; and although certain scenes leave shivery impressions with their nightmarish silliness, DePalma has paced the film slackly, with none of the mounting horror of his previous efforts.

John Williams has provided another goffily bloated score, and if you go in for DePalma's brand of sadism...
...PALMA HAS CAST the film magnificently, with a keen satirical eye. Giving the lead roles to Kirk Douglas and Carrie Snodgrass must be his audacious reply to those who would put all-American zombies like Gregory Peck and Lee Remick in similar roles. Kirk Douglas's face has never seemed longer, and that dimple never more defiant. With the stature and angry leer of a depraved baboon (perfect for a DePalma hero), and a cuddly, newfound warmth, Douglas looks like a MAD magazine caricature of himself, and that is somehow very appropriate. Carrie Snodgrass, in her first appearance since Diary...
