Harvard also has 6-10 Bob McCabe in the wings, but McLaughlin isn't drooling because of Bob's questionable knees. Speaking of injuries, sophomore Bob Sims returns after a frosh campaign cut short by the surgeon's knife. Sims averaged 13 points in the two games he did play before injury and joins fellow soph Mark Harris and rookie Tom Clarke at forward depth slots...
...More efficient," says Baldrige. Asparagus and very crisp bacon may be eaten with the fingers, and salad may be cut with a knife, she ordains. (The old stricture against cutting salad with a knife was meant to spare the hostess's silver-plated blade, which could be corroded by vinegar dressing.) But it still is "heresy to cut spaghetti." Somewhat conservatively, Baldrige advises that fried chicken "should be eaten with the fingers only on such occasions as picnics, barbecues, boat rides and other informal outdoor gatherings."

Besides, Carter prefers to decide everything himself, listening first to one adviser, then another, and meanwhile his "team" voices a babble of conflicting ideas...
MACHEATH HAS TO be a man of the world who knows how to survive, who's grown a little shabby, a little scruffy, perhaps, but who keeps his sense of style along with his white gloves. Allen C. Kennedy's Mack the Knife sounds like a two-bit punk who got lost in Flatbush and somehow ended up in London, 1830. It's not necessarily a wrong-headed interpretation, but it needs strength, consistency, and a sense of Macheath's age--and Kennedy gives it none of these...
