...have read about how in the last Boston-Quebec game, beer sales jumped every time there was a fight on the ice. Conversely, the lack of fighting on the ice may make people buy less beer...
...peace" solution posed by Moses is seriously flawed. Israel cannot withdraw from the entire West Bank, as the area constitutes 75 percent of the country's width. Without it, Israel would be less than six miles wide in some areas, an obvious threat to national security. The move to have Jerusalem be a buffer zone is also questionable. Should the Holy City be used as a peace-keeping, U.N.-controlled territory? The United Nations already regards Jerusalem as an international city, and the U.S. Embassy is located in Tel Aviv. Moses's plan seems to rid Israel of internal strife...
...Among the high spots: Lumbly's liltingly Caribbean and muscular Oberon and Lorraine Toussaint's Titania, his equal in dignity and a nonpareil in languorous erotic indulgence. Bottom (Abraham) and his pals, the "rude mechanicals," are for once believable working men, unpatronizingly evoked if, alas, therefore a little less funny than usual. This Midsummer will not stand in memory with Peter Brook's 1971 landmark staging or Liviu Ciulei's 1985 war of the sexes. But it is a vibrant start to a welcome project...

Also, there is a brief scene in which the camera lingers on a TV screen featuring Chevy Chase in a hilarious cameo, selling condoms in a commercial...
...high scrawl--it only brings out the sadist in us. Don't (Cliffies) write offers to come over and read aloud to us your illegible remarks--we can (officially) read anything, and we may be married. Write on both sides of the page--single-blue-book finals look like less work to grade, and win points. This chic, shaded calligraphic script so many are affecting lately is handsome, and is probably worth a good five extra points if you can hack...
