...take to earn varsity status at Harvard? Politics, pompoms or an Ivy League championship? Take the cheerleaders, for example, a group that traditionally toiled at basketball games with no recognition and now earns "varsity" sweaters--the big crimson H outlined in white against a black background--and will ride free to New Haven this weekend. Or look at the rugby team that's been kicking around for 105 years and just last spring had to pay its own way to England for tournament games. Despite the difference in treatment, both teams have one thing in common--they're non-varsity...
...enter Cambodia from Thailand with supplies. A bipartisan group of 68 House members urged Carter to set up a joint airlift with the Soviet Union. The plan was first suggested by the Rev. Theodore Hesburgh of the University of Notre Dame. Said he: "I'm perfectly willing to ride in the lead truck and get shot in the process rather than sit back and have it on my conscience that I did nothing to stop a second holocaust" Hesburgh also suggested that the U.S. withhold grain sales to the Soviet Union unless the Kremlin collaborates in making 150,000 tons...

...SCENE between Clayburgh and Barry is ludicrous; Mom pats junior's corduroys around the crotch area twice and bam, the earth moves. With a sensitivity level like that, how the hell does the kid ride the subway at rush hour? The other "big" scene has mom writhing about fully clothed, displaying to full advantage a mere pair of skinny legs. No sexual tension or even desire ever builds up between the two. The two moments of sexual activity occur for no apparent reason; Bertolucci never integrates this incest into the broader context of film. The only truly startling moment...
Thanks. I knew that there was something bothering me about this year's World Series. My gratitude goes out to you, Jeffrey R. Toobin, writer of the Box, for pointing out that it was that Pittsburgh and Baltimore are "aging industrial cities" that are only "an hour's plane ride apart." Pittsburgh aging? you must mean senile. As the headquarters of penny ante companies like U.S. Steel, Gulf Oil Corp., Alcoa and Westinghouse Electric Corp. it couldn't possibly be an industrially sophisticated city. Their baseball team naturally lacks sophistication because of this...
