...while, it seemed as if they might win the second game as well. NYU came out firing, hitting .294 and delivering 18 kills. But Harvard’s offense was overpowering, posting 21 kills on .368 hitting and allowing the Crimson to squeak out a 32-30 victory...
...talking pictures that went from novelty in 1927 to the norm by 1930. Wong had garnered raves for speaking German with a natural precision in her first talkie, Hai-Tang. Her West End stage debut in The Circle of Chalk, though, was calamitous. Critics derided her "Yankee squeak," and the show's producer, Basil Dean, blamed her for its early close.

(The drudgery of routine, and the terror of changing it, is the show's constant theme.) Meanwhile, the power-hungry pip-squeak Gareth (Mackenzie Crook) is now office manager, having replaced the boorish David Brent (writer-producer Ricky Gervais). David complains that his life was ruined by the documentary--a nice touch, since The Office immeasurably changed Gervais' life as well--bitterly claiming that he was the victim of bad editing...
