...glamorous picture in the Freshman Register. Not that it was a glamorous picture by the standards of any other place. In any style-conscious suburb, it would have passed as an ordinary look, made out of the touch-up job that money buys: the dentist-made perfect teeth, the smooth complexion, the tan from the West Indies, the European sense of style, the hair subtly streaked, the wide open look and confident carriage from knowing none but a comfortable world. The picture looked like every other rich girl that looks like the "California Girl." But at Harvard, it was glamorous...
...College World Series of Baseball, having successfully and carefully orchestrated the talents of each integer of the whole into a sum success with the diligence, the mastery, the care, that a Beethoven, a Mozart, a Chopin exerted in blending the harmonies and rhythms of their art, having created a smooth and masterful whole from diverse and individual bits and pieces, having molded a swashbuckling and exciting style of diamond exhibition, having succeeded beyond the wildest dreams of a John Harvard Doubleday and brought national acclaim to the bleak and Puritan New England athletic frontier, the Harvard baseball team is back...

So smooth was Kim's kidnaping-or possibly his murder-that Japanese authorities speculated that it was the work of the ever-efficient Korean CIA, acting perhaps on the orders of President Chung Hee Park, whom Kim had called "an Asian version of Hitler." Exiled since last year, Kim, 48, who had astounded Park...
...result, Lear's descent into madness after Goneril (Rosalind Cash) and Regan (Ellen Holly) turn him out of the very houses he gave them is distressingly smooth, almost melodramatic. Jones never touches the universal and timeless fears of generational revolt that are implicit in the play. Indeed, much of the time his work seems more elocutionary than emotional. He relies too heavily on wowing the audience with his rich, supple voice...
