...office sure thing Maverick, starring Mel Gibson, Jodie Foster and the lead from the '50s TV version, old Bret (or was it Bart?) Maverick himself, James Garner. This week a live-action take on The Flintstones debuts, with John Goodman and Elizabeth Perkins as Fred and Wilma Flintstone and Rick Moranis and Rosie O'Donnell as Barney and Betty Rubble. Later this summer, Lassie will bark her way back into your heart, and Wyatt Earp will gallop across the wide screen. The Little Rascals, based on the old movie shorts that have become continually rerun TV artifacts, arrives in August...

Meanwhile, the director, John Dahl (who wrote the screenplay with his brother Rick) is young and virtually unknown...
...focus of Monday's games was not hitting, but fine pitching performances from Dartmouth's two best starters, Steve Murphy and Rick Macdonald. Murphy took a no-hitter into the sixth inning before senior Bill Madden bounced an infield single to the hole at shortstop. Murphy, who owns the third lowest ERA in the Ivies at 2.71, finished with a one-hit shutout, striking out two and walking...
