Racing for the first time this season, the team placed three of its skiiers in the top ten positions. Ellie Waterston was first; Robin Barnes placed third after Anita Wollner of Cornell. Another Radcliffe skier, Ginny Storrs, finished sixth...
...tribute to A. A. Milne's classic storybook characters. The drawings are a rough but not treasonable facsimile of the famous Shepard illustrations, pleasantly introducing Kanga, Roo, Eeyore, Owl and Rabbit. It is the voices that sound dead wrong.

Discothèques have kicked off a new dance, the "batusi," and five recordings of the Batman theme song have already been rushed to stores, along with a single called Batman and Robin. There is even every expectation that grown men will be showing up at Andy Warhol's next party dressed like the Batman...
