Like its source, this Pride and Prejudice makes spectators care about the fates of some very silly and shallow people, endowing them with no heroism but great vulnerability and charm. Pownall, 47, has plucked out the essentials from Austen. There is the tug-of-war wedlock of the middle-aged Bennets, she (Marge Redmond) a worrier and a conniver, he (Richard Kiley) a detached and almost enigmatic amateur scholar. There is the frustrating courtship dance between the Bennets' clever, winsome daughter Elizabeth (Jane Kaczmarek) and the rich Mr. Darcy (Peter Gallagher), both too proud to recognize the inevitability of their...
...event scheduled for this week. Two prominent CBS newsmen who are members of the R.C.F.P. steering committee, Dan Rather and Walter Cronkite, voiced strong objections.

But because we are so self-absorbed and unreflective, we go about on our own busy schedules, never really taking the time to sit down and ask someone about their real life and have a truly meaningful relationship. This goes for students, faculty, and staff. So take the time and get to know peopleyou can read these books anywhere...
Three of the four Crimson runs came in the first inning. Stefanchik led off the game with a bunt single and scored when Sabin cracked a two-run homer off the first pitch thrown to her. After Kerper struck out, Winkeller hit a single to shallow left, barely beating a quick throw to first. Senior Cecily Gordon drove her home with an RBI double...
