...about what one would expect of typical Harvard classes, past or present. There are numerous businessmen, doctors and lawyers, several professors and government officials, a sprinkling of clergymen, architects, city planners and psychoanalysists. There is a president of a turkey hatchery and a candy manufacturer. There is a surgeon, Stephen E. Hedberg, who believes his peers thought their futures were set 25 years ago, and that they had no idea of the changes in values, customs and ideals they would face. He had no idea then either that he would be 40 pounds overweight with soaring cholesterol levels that would...
...purely a military operation stemming "from our inherent right of self-defense." But did Smith have political motives in authorizing the mission? Western diplomats noted that the raid began the same morning an Anglo-American negotiating team, headed by British Diplomat John Graham and U.S. Ambassador to Zambia Stephen Low, left Salisbury for the Mozambican capital of Maputo.

King wants to take tennis lessons, but is "afraid of looking nouveau riche...

Tom Waites is fine as Oliver, and Pauline Flanagan's Eve is a model of laced-up propriety masking inner compassion. Christina Pickles conveys the teasing coquettishness and parched loins of Molly well, but never makes her love for the boy convincing. For a man who is obsessed by the approach of death and his wife's infidelity, Michael Higgins' Teddy is a shade too passive...
