...appeared several weeks ago in this newspaper about the current crop of Rhodes and Marshall scholarship nominees began by jokingly noting that the students who had been nominated were finally beginning to reap the rewards of "staying home all those Saturday nights." While it was nothing more than a mild and probably fairly accurate gibe, this line is indicative of a certain resentful "Yeah, they got nominated, but at least they have no social life" attitude toward these people who are some of the most hardworking and successful students at Harvard...
Duke transfer and starting quarterback Matt Rader, too, in a scene straight out of a Snickers commercial, after scoring a fourth-quarter touchdown forgot the team's plays and the fact that he had scored once on the sideline, and was pulled with a mild concussion.

The musical dances daintily away from the question on everyone's mind--How do Siamese twins have sex?--in favor of more palatable soap opera. Will Terry, the impresario who guides their career, overcome his queasiness and fall for Daisy? Is Buddy, who discovered them in the sideshow, the right guy for Violet, or is he just angling for a share of the concessions from...
