After the 21-21 tie in 1954, Brown triumphed, 14 to 6, in 1955, and 21 to 12, in 1956. In 1957, Harvard absorbed its worst licking at the hands of a Bruin eleven. Behind quarterbacks Frank Finney and Nick Pannes, today's starter, Brown scored early and often against an outclassed and injury-ridden Crimson eleven. The final score was Brown 33, Harvard...
Particularly effective is Holbrook's timing. He takes time out to light a fresh cigar, flick some ashes off, or just blow smoke into the air--and often takes this time off just before the punch line of a story, a pause that makes the tag all the funnier.

Another similarity with science is that the study of economics is often cumulative, thereby necessitating an extensive introduction to provide the requisite basic knowledge. These are the same problems with which the Bruner Report was concerned in the teaching of natural sciences in a liberal arts program. That report dealt primarily with the problem of the non-concentrator in science--the General Education courses in natural sciences. The Economics Department, however, because of the interest of its concentrators, encounters the same problems throughout its program...

But humor is not the only trade mark of Twain.

And the play is considerably dulled by Ziegler's fascination with the fjords (which look very much like the Swiss Alps.) In the first act, an audience sitting out behind the set would hear almost as much of the important dialogue as the group in the Lowell Dining Room...
