...elements of freshman hell emerge equally from the individual and from the University--an unfortunate mix of the normal anxieties of adolescence and the sadistic impersonality of this place. If you're emotionally vulnerable, personally naive, or just unlucky, Harvard will chew you up and spit you out like the insignificant piece of teen-age gristle...
...which revolves around the doings at a high-powered Los Angeles law firm, exhibits most of Bochco's now familiar trademarks: a large "ensemble cast"; multiple, overlapping plots; a rounded look at its characters' personal and professional lives; and a well-calculated mix of drama and comedy. Stylistically, however, the show is more conventional than Hill Street. The long camera takes inside the station house, with characters streaming in and out of the frame, have been replaced by more routine TV close...

The corporation has made it clear that it wants to take...

Two of the most senior Reagan pets are dogs that date back to his days as an ex-Governor and a President-in-waitin g. Millie, a Labrador- setter mix, came in the '70s with Lee Clearwater, a caretaker of Rancho del Cielo who died last year; next Taka, a purebred Husky, was given to the Reagans by friends. During the 1980 presidential race, an admiring Wisconsin couple presented the Reagans with Victory, a golden retriever. (Later that year they gave...
