Clifford likes to keep souvenirs; he still has the envelope on which he accurately jotted down in advance the outcome of the 1948 election, in which he helped plot strategy for Truman's victory. The Lance affair should yield a few souvenirs too-especially that 49 page opening statement...
...plot of Annie Hall has the two underweight egos twine together, rose and briar. For a while they twitch as one, forming a touching sort of pill pool and neurosis bank in Alvy's Manhattan apartment. Then it is over. Annie drifts off to Los Angeles; Alvy writes a play about the affair, wistfully giving it a happy ending in which the lovers unite. The film's details are not meant to match reality exactly. Keaton, then 22, and Allen, then 33, met when he was casting his Broadway comedy Play It Again, Sam, not after a tennis match...

Just trying to explain the plot of Gondoliers, the Gilbert and Sullivan fall production scheduled to open at the Agassiz Decemeber 1, is a mistake. It begins simply enought with two Venetian gondolier brothers falling in love with and marrying two peasant girls in the first act. But then the trouble starts. One of these brothers turns out to be the lost king of Barataria but, good Venetian egalitarians that they are, neither of the supposed brothers wants to be the ruler or knows which actually is. All of which gives them good reason to rule Barataria together and gives...
