...manifestos. The story of how Wilbur the pig was saved by the unusual weaving skills of Charlotte the spider has taught countless children, many of them now middle-aged, how to weep and exult at the same moment. Wilbur's tribute to his departed benefactor bears repeating, with a nod to the man who created them both: "It is not often that someone comes along who is a true friend and a good writer...
...accounting. I passed the Washington Monument, tall and splendid in the morning light, but only one six-hundredth as tall as Reagan's stack of $1,000 bills. Pressed on around the Department of Agriculture. What pikers! They have only 240 million bushels of surplus corn stored away. A nod down Independence Avenue to NASA. It would take one of their space shuttles nearly a year and a half in orbit reeling out end-to-end dollar bills to equal the current Debt...
...Lafayette. Cornell will run twice as much as it will pass, and has shown some surprising speed in this area. If the hosts have a shot today, Tagliaferri will have to produce. Main problem here is lack of depth and lack of experience. RECEIVERS: Lamont Greer gets the starting nod for the first time today, replacing senior Chuck Shirey. There is plenty of speed here, but abilities are questionable. Crimson wide receivers have caught just two passes this year, and a Harvard split end hasn't caught a touchdown pass in more than three years. Shirey will back up Greer...
...Zoomin'. A bunch of Hot Stars get in on Aretha's Action as if they all wished to exploit (whoops, I mean insure) the Rebirth of a Legend. In addition to Lennox and Stewart, Peter Wolf chimes in for a phony duet (with an obvious nod to Mick and Tina) and Carlos Santana and Clarence Clemons drop by for a pair of specialty solos. It all adds up to what could have been but wasn't. Too bad Franklin doesn't have (just a little bit) of self...
...receptions for 254 yards. Clemons also returns kicks and had a 94-yard touchdown return. Could be the key. Fellow junior Reggie Hodnett is the fullback. A more than capable duo. RECEIVERS: Restic will shuffle his receivers, with Chuck Shirey--who also handles the punts--getting the starting nod. Lots of speed here, but ability is questionable. No Crimson wide out has ever caught a pass in a varsity game. No Crimson wider receiver has caught a touchdown pass in three years. * RECEIVERS: Wide Receiver Ron Gillam, who has four touchdowns receiving, is the top pass catcher and flankers Harry...
