...could Harvard's impotent offense mount another scoring drive as the scoreless second half gave the Freshmen a narrow victory...
...leaders met at the castle, 3,000 young people, mostly workers and high school students, swarmed up the narrow streets of the Mala Strana quarter to the gates of Hradcany. Waving red-white-and-blue Czechoslovak flags that they had torn from buildings festooned for the anniversary, the youths shouted what their elders no longer dared: "We want freedom!" "Better dead than shame!" When they spotted Soviet Ambassador Stepan Chervonenko's black Chaika limousine behind the barred iron grille of the castle, the crowd cried, "Russians, go home!" "We have the truth, they have the tanks!" For a moment...
...affairs, writes Elson, which "present-day TIME editors and writers can envy." Hadden delighted in journalistic pranks. He peopled the Letters column with invented characters, most notably the puritanical lady who kept objecting to the Prince of Wales' loose living, inciting other letter writers to object to her narrow views.

A few stalled cars honk furiously at the interlopers, but most...
...director has somehow emancipated a play by taking liberties. So I won't say that, not exactly. What Timothy Mayer has done for The Bacchae is put it out of harmony with the stage conventions according to which it was written. He has emancipated it only from a narrow theatrical orthodoxy which insists on treating all plays of a given place and period alike, whose loyalty is to a set of rules empirically drawn from history rather than to the will of an author as unfolded in his work. Above and beyond this considerable accomplishment, Mayer's modern-dress treatment...
