Though worried by the jumpiness of the stocks, the New York and American exchanges had been reluctant to do anything that might spoil the action that is profitably increasing volume and enticing people into the market. But the speculation turned even wilder last month after a bullish report by Merrill Lynch cited the gambling industry's "potential to be one of the high growth segments of the economy during the next five years...

Most conventional reviewers would long before now have lapsed into an annoying account of this (or any) show's funniest scenes and most memorable lines; I'll be charitable and leave that for some other time, because I really don't want to spoil it for you in any way. The Hasty Pudding Show, as a friend rightly pointed out, is, after all, the longest-running, most extensively reviewed "sure thing" at Harvard every year--a great, vaguely theatrical experience for those hundred or so Bermudabound Fortunates who are directly involved, and, apparently...
