...Howard Ross '78 (not his real name) had always gotten easy As when he wasn't doing stuff as president of his class and chairman of his school social service organization. When he came to Harvard, he decided to drop the extra-curriculars and concentrate on his academics, to really soak in the "atmosphere which puts an emphasis on the intellectual...
...Huckster. The Seattle Opera is accustomed to thinking along several lines. In only eleven years it has become one of the major U.S. companies, largely due to the efforts of a former Golden Gloves lightweight from Omaha named Glynn Ross. He has been called everything from a publicity hound to the hip huckster of grand opera. He loves promoting. "Get ahead with Salome," read the shameless pun on one poster...

Harper is the original Archer, except for his name, which was changed because Newman's most successful movies always had that lucky H in the title (The Hustler, Hud). Newman is generally amusing and attractive to watch, even when he is chomping gum rather than establishing any stronger character points. His role demands only that he ask questions and piece together one of those traditional Macdonald puzzles about sudden death and damaged children...
