...Montecito, Calif. "Method? Formula? Highfalutin words," Muni once scoffed. Trained on New York's Yiddish stage, he submerged himself in each new movie role until the actor disappeared, taking days to perfect his makeup, spending weeks learning every nuance of the characters he portrayed-an arrogant gangster in Scarf ace (1932), a fierce patriot in Juarez (1939), a dedicated scientist in The Story of Louis Pasteur, which won him a 1936 Oscar. His Hollywood appeal faded in the 1940s, but he made a triumphant return on Broadway as Clarence Darrow in 1955's Inherit the Wind...
That was not enough to knock the Reds out of their camouflaged bunkers, so in came Captain Doan Kim Long, 27, and his battalion to mount a classical infantry charge. Long, who wears French wrap-around sunglasses, a lavender scarf and a khaki beret, deployed his men in a shallow V with himself at the point. With the battalion bugle blaring, the Vietnamese raced across 75 yds. of open ground, straight through their pinned-down comrades, hurling grenades into the Viet Cong bunkers and gunning down the Reds when they tried to escape.

A baritone singing a tenor role, he sang most of his part with an annoying wobble, and sounded strained on the high notes. But he, almost alone among the principals, made his words clear, and he played his role vigorously. Janina Mukerji sang Dido with perfect control...
Lesley girls have their own false stereotype about Harvard men as the remark about "sophisticated" Harvard Yard indicates. There are two types of Harvard men, Jo Anne said with the smiling assent of the others. Either he's a clean-cut, with a black umbrella and a scarf (in a word, "preppie"), or he hasn't had a bath since September and he smells like...
During a three-hour ceremony at Pleiku, Ky sat impassively in his black uniform and lavender scarf, removing his gloves only to put on the brass bracelets that symbolize Montagnard friendship. Solemnly, 250 Montagnard rebels knelt before him to pledge allegiance to the Saigon government. Then, as Ky, a host of government officials, and U.S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge looked queasily on, the Montagnards poured rice wine over the Premier's boots and slashed a water buffalo to death in honor of the Saigon visitors. Fortunately, the sacrifice took only five minutes rather than the usual hour or more...
