North Carolina’s Andy Metzler completed the first singles match of the day when he bested Harvard co-captain William Lee in straight sets at the No. 6 position. Metzler’s win tied the overall score at 1-1. But victories by Lingman and Nguyen put the Crimson back on top and, even after Chu fell at No. 2 singles, Turner’s three-set win at the No. 6 spot moved Harvard into the Blue-Gray quarterfinals...
...film contains some problems. Several revelations arrive completely unexpected, other scenes seem unnecessarily melodramatic if not unnecessary altogether. And Estevez's Johnny Coles remains a flat character throughout. But Metzler's Mason and Dillion's Tex carry a film greatly helped by a wonderful screenplay...
...scene efficiently, nail them down and move on unfussily. One would like to call it American classicism, if that phrase did not have such a forbidding ring to it.

Georgia is supposed to be dynamic...
...David, Tom and Danilo were the best of friends. And they all loved the same girl." David (Michael Huddleston) is a fat, funny Jew, welded by family tradition into his niche as a middle-class mortician. Tom (Jim Metzler) is tall, quiet, athletic, a reluctant ladykiller; he goes to Viet Nam and brings back a native wife and two children. Danilo (Craig Wasson) is Tesich's maturing self-image: breezing through high school and college, working in a slag mill, brushing up (almost fatally) against old American wealth, articulating his fellow Slavs' ardor for their adopted country...
