Howard Johnson marshmallow-fudge candy bars aren't exactly the ideal pre-game meal for a football team, but they were enough to power the Harvard freshmen football team to a 31-18 victory over the Yale freshmen yesterday afternoon in New Haven...
...merely retarded. Martin spots an attractive bird named Susan (Hayley Mills) and hatches a plot that eventually gets Dad done in, Susan-ravaged, and Susan's mom cut up like so much kindling. This exercise in Petit Guignol, called Twisted Nerve, has all the suspense of a marshmallow roast, and struggles to make itself more plausible by adding some genetic gibberish about chromosomal damage.

Pierce, while they are still foaming at the corners of their reconstructed mouths with the salivary marshmallow of their Bailey's sundaes, they decide to duck into a movie so they can haul off their heels for a bit. Then, over on Washington Street, you see the higher level of the Combat Zone clientele: the pimply teenagers, the drifters, the sailors and their girls. The Savoy...
