...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.

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. The envelopes, please. -By Donald Morrison...
