...coming here) makes a delightful hero as he begins to regret selling his soul to the Spirit of Law (Ed Overtree, a Princeton Triangle alumnus) in order to be "Number One" and catch the affections of Mary Wealth (Gretchen Hackbarth, a B.U. drama major). Sonenberg and Overtree make a slick, professional pair as they battle competing students and then each other. Like the rest of the cast, they can sing, although everyone at times has difficulty being heard...
...because he's "too far behind in his journals." They think medicine is a noble way that their daddy earns a living, and that the Holy Cross Hospital, where he goes, is a life-saving hospital run by self-effacing sisters. If you'll dig beneath your slick but often misleading facts, you'll find out that they're right...
...Careers Today magazine was not money but response. Editor in Chief Nicolas H. Charney and Publisher John J. Veronis lavished more than enough on production costs and advertising.

And the European players, to whom teamwork is a job performed by oxen, would just as soon uncork an impossibly long...
Brittany and Cornwall. Inevitably, conservationists felt compelled to compare the effect of the Santa Barbara slick with the 100,000 tons spilled into the English Channel in 1967 by the wreck of the tanker Torrey Canyon. In Cornwall, the British government dumped 1,000,000 gallons of detergents and chemicals on the beaches and into the ocean. The sands and rocks now are without a trace of tar, but the sea is practically devoid of plankton, which nourishes such underwater creatures as limpets and winkles. By contrast, when the slick floated to the coast of Brittany, the French insisted that...
