...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.

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. Time is a carrion-eating bird, and this is what appears left of Signoret, 57, unrecognizable except for those cat's eyes.

...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...
