(Does the worthy proletariat ever suffer from ennui? Apparently not.) Nothing is happening. A young husband in a stiff jacket and striped pants is poking the fireplace in a desultory way. His wife stares out the window, her back to us. The folds and pleats of her costume, intensely formal, suggest a caryatid--but a caryatid with nothing at all to support and nothing whatever to do.

The two will be forced to carry an additional burden for the first month of the season, which Chubb will miss due to a stress fracture. Guard Jeff Schiffner will probably replace him as Penn goes with a smaller lineup...
