...frightful, it may not seem much better inside: thermostats must by law not be set above a chilly 65° F in offices. The best defense against 9-to-5 frostbite is clearly the layered look. At the risk of violating stodgy dress codes, men are buying sweaters and knit vests to slip under suits. Women are snapping up fuzzy tights, pants rather than skirts, blazers and all kinds of sweaters, from shetlands and turtlenecks to cashmeres and one-of-a-kind bulky knits. Impulse buying is on the wane. "Shoppers are more money conscious this year," says a Chicago...
While it was generous of Spielberg to employ so large a percentage of the Screen Actors Guild, the huge cast almost immobilizes the movie. It takes too long to establish who everyone is and to knit all the plot strands together. Even though the film is relentlessly busy - there seems to be a physical gag in every shot - it has little of the director's usual narrative drive.

"Just because you're a Harvard alumnus doesn't mean you're any more likely to get to know, or to want to know, other Harvard alumni than you wanted to know the guy across the hall in Winthrop House," Trueheart says...
...vacancy outside. Kicking game Senior Duke Millard and sophomore Steve Flach should handle the punting chores. No returning varsity kickers and NO placekickers at all presents Harvard with its gravest problem. Coach Joe Restic needs ANYBODY who can handle field goals, extra points and kickoffs. Overall A close-knit, high-spirited team with a fairly solid defense. Small size, severe depth problems, a lack of experience, no kicking game and many holes to fill. The coaches are unsure if the team will be able to learn and use enough Multiflex strategy to throw larger opponents off balance...
