...coaches recognized that numbers can't measure the skill Hall brings to his position. He has speed, razor-sharp reflexes and what Brown Coach Cliff Stevenson calls "one hell of a punt." His long goal kicks trigger the quick Crimson attack...
Soon after arriving in Evanston, Gephardt leaped from drama to campus politics. Known then as Rich, he wore trousers with razor-sharp creases, was a preciously good speaker and even knew how to pull cub reporters aside at student senate meetings to explain the complicated goings-on. Friends kidded the student-body president about combing his hair down over his forehead in the style of John Kennedy. A college sweetheart recalls that the constant comparisons had an effect on Gephardt. "It was hard to look that much like J.F.K. and not talk of the presidency," she says...
...Read About My Death is much more than proof that feminism is alive and well and living at the Newbury Street Theater.

Except for the razor-sharp cynicism of angular Richard Belzer and the loudly self-absorbed improvisations of Gilbert Gottfried, they came off as Not-Ready-Even-for-Late-Night Players. More promising are such regular features as Pipeline, a takeoff of Nightline, which last week examined a prison that had gone condo, and Flick of the Night, which overdubs old film clips with irreverent irrelevancies. The bookings may also improve. Already taped are interviews with less overexposed celebs like Lana Turner...
