...mainstay of the Harvard backfield is the "Mutt-and-Jeff" combination of senior Andy Dale and junior Robert Bonnie. Dale, listed as the shortest player on the Crimson squad (5-ft., 7-in.), has taken advantage of his size and speed to manuever his way into and out of key defensive positions. An aggressive player, Dale can often be credited with igniting Crimson counter-attacks...
...Mutt-and-Jeff pair are certainly the most popular and conceivably the most powerful movie critics in the country. Probably no encomium is more sought after by film publicists than "Two thumbs up -- Siskel and Ebert" (reflecting their device of signaling thumbs up or thumbs down for good reviews or bad). Just how much impact they have at the box office is less certain, but some in Hollywood think it is substantial. Said Comedian Eddie Murphy at a recent press conference: "Siskel and Ebert go 'horrible picture,' and, I'm telling you, ((they)) can definitely kill a movie...
...Madeline Kahn, Maureen McGovern and Julia Migenes ganged up gorgeously on Someone to Watch Over Me. Last week's gala tribute to George and Ira at the Brooklyn Academy of Music provided a pretty fine evening of dance as well, with Mikhail Baryshnikov, Harold Nicholas, Gregg Burge and the Mutt-and-Jeff tandem of Tommy Tune and Drew Barrymore finding new steps for some unforgettable old melodies.

...stands 5 ft. tall, on point. His face has the canine cantankerousness of a mutt on David Letterman's Stupid Pet Tricks. He secured TV fame playing a gnomish cab dispatcher with a heart of gunk. Not, you might say, Hollywood's idea of a leading man, unless for a Muppet remake of Rumpelstiltskin. But in today's Hollywood, where the hottest teen idol is a 64-year-old named Rodney Dangerfield, anything is possible. So why not Danny DeVito as the topliner of the highly liked summer hit Ruthless People? Or as the scene stealer in a rock video...
