...Without Supper. Not everything can be blamed on Gary Coleman. The sassy black kid-the slick-speaking bro who scores points off the ofay-goes back to the Good Times of the mid-'70s.

Perhaps Harvard coach Joe Restic is saving them as a special surprise for his Yalie counterpart Carm Cozza. Speedy Paul Scheper, the senior wide receiver, has caught only nine passes thus...

...mean streets, personifying the gangster as a tragically overreaching hero (The Public Enemy); the next he was to be found quickstepping on his jaunty dancer's pins along the sunny side, tapping out a dandy Yankee Doodle up tune. But it made no difference where he traded slick jabs and smart-mouthed gibes, for he always made it clear that though he could be touched, he could not be trifled with or, at his core, changed...
