Ralph Polillio and Wayne Moore took left-end sweeps for 12 and 14 yards, and then Moore galloped 19 yards with a screen pass on a play where Brown froze the Minuteman defense with a nifty fake. An incomplete pass to John MacLeod on third-and-14 killed the drive, but kickmeister Gary Bosnic popped a 33-yard field goal through the posts for a 3-0 Harvard lead, just 5:48 into the game...
Girl Friends, directed and produced by Claudia Weill '68, is a small movie. It's not that nothing happens, but when it's all over, you wonder if it was worth the trip. What you see on the screen is hardly more engaging than watching your neighbors. A lot of water passes under the bridge, but somehow it never reaches the other side. What does emerge is a very warm and compelling portrait of a young woman, Susan Weinblatt. But however appealing her character is, so little is required of her that we remain uninvolved.

Before that happened--before the well-meaning crowd of mourners that had gathered to give their friend a good Irish wake had been so rudely interrupted by the sight of the corpse singing and dancing and leading the cheers--the party at Anthony's had been a pleasant...
Worcester changed that. The tallies flashed onto that big color screen--a neat electronic reminder that this game they call politics isn't so different from all the other games you've watched on a big screen, peering through the cigar smoke and hollering at every score--and then the cheers erupted. But they weren't cheers. Screams would be the better word, or maybe squeals: the sheer delight of a naughty five-year-old who wakes up on Christmas morning to find not the threatened lump of coal, but a shiny toy truck in his stocking. Sweet Mother...
