...root of the problem lies with the operetta itself. The Harvard group would have been wise to follow the example of other G&S troupes, which seldom if ever mount this little-known work by the famous duo. As a matter of fact, the story of the colonization of Utopia and its incorporation into Utopia Limited borders on the inane and tedious. Not only do the lyrics and score lack the crisp wit and euphonic melodies that characterize most G&S operettas, but also most of the satire falls flat in front of an American audience.

...vote underlined a fundamental reality of politics in the right-of-center party that has ruled Japan without interruption since 1955. Winning the Liberal-Democratic leadership is seldom, if ever, a matter of personal popularity. Instead, victory requires the support of powerful backroom leaders who personally control significant factions in the party's parliamentary group. Nakasone's candidacy was supported by the two most prominent factional chieftains in the Diet: Suzuki and former Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka, 64, who retains his influence in the L.D.P. despite the fact that he faces a court verdict next year on charges...

Center Elaine Holpuch, whose power inside is usually incontested, was ice-cold on her inside shots Constantly out-muscled under the boards by Dartmouth's Jayne Diagle, Holpuch seldom got off a balanced lay up shot after rebounds. She hit only four of 17 shots. But certainly the rest of the squad was equally frigid from then floor--23 percent in the game. Only one other Crimson player tallied more than Holpuch's nine forward Cindy Clapp with 11 points, shooting at 33 percent...

...secret love affairs, cash-stuffed envelopes and other reportorial hand grenades seem to come remarkably often for so long a book on so familiar a subject. But then, as acquaintances, biographers and most Americans at least a few years beyond voting age have long known, Lyndon Johnson seldom failed to surprise. Volume II cannot either.
