...Clear Day You Can See Forever will be a solid smash on Broadway, yet also predictably the show will not set off the seismographic tremors that Alan Lerner has created in the past. Mr. Lerner has chosen to collaborate with the veteran composer Burton Lane, whose brilliant score for Finian's Rainbow of 1947 greatly influenced subsequent musical.

That defense is as tough as ever with All-American candidate Stas Maliszewski returning at tackle and Paul Savidge at guard. Rutgers compiled a 6-3 record last year...
