...last weekend's offerings was wholly successful. Howard Fine's "Dream Journal," the opening work on the program, unfolded a beautifully organic pattern on the motif of the softly curving arc. Dancers tumbled their arms like water-wheels in the fall of the current, or turned on one leg, the others bent at right angles the way a feather spirals in a funnel of air. All the edges here had been washed smooth, and the rhythmic impulse, as in a dream, was the time of the sea-drift, rippling the dancers' bodies like wind on water. Meg Streeter's "Waves...
...slumps up the tenement stairs, leaking sighs, an old, sick, fat woman with an elastic bandage on one leg. Can this really be Simone Signoret, the stunning actress who won a 1959 Oscar for her role as Laurence Harvey's lover in Room at the Topi? Yes.

...Malcolm Cooper also had a fabulous meet for the men in Crimson lycra. He set a University record of 20.73 to grab a shocking 11th in the 50-yd. freestyle, recorded the fastest 100-yd. butterfly time in Crimson history in the medley relay (48.76), and swam a blazing leg (1:41.50) in Harvard's All-American free relay...
