Purdy, who broke into the varsity hockey lineup this season, proved the sleeper in the linksters' win over Amherst and Tufts yesterday in the Crimson's opening dual match. The squad finished with a composite score of 386, good enough to whomp the Lord Jeffs by 24 strokes, while Tufts straggled in with...
There are some wonderful moments in The Beggar's Opera--Master Kiely all grimaces and contortions as the Beggar/playwright, Macheath's gang lustily anticipating their booty, the prostitutes--each with a distinctive dress and a personality to match--swinging their way across the stage, mimicking lords and ladies and boasting gleefully of their conquests.

...America in a cage. Many of his opponents wished he had remained therein. Abdullah has been photographed attacking his adversaries with the severed leg of a sheep, with metal pipes he must have ripped out of the walls of stadium lavoratories, and with fruit canning equipment; at one match, angered by the disparaging remarks of fans who questioned his sportsmanship, he decided to inflict terror on his audience by perpetrating random violence, and deliberately crippled a sixty-four year-old veteran in a four-dollar seat. This man knows no mercy--he can't even speak English...
