...World or the one-armed bandit to Las Vegas. They come for some of the world's most spectacular scenery and a variety of activities unmatched by any comparable area on earth. They come to sun, snorkel, scuba, skinny-dip, surf, sail and swim at 33 miles of superb public beaches; to cruise the crystalline waters on glass-bottomed boat, catamaran, windjammer or outrigger canoe; to golf, play tennis, deep-sea fish and surfcast; to flight see by helicopter; to beach-walk, backpack, camp, climb, ride horseback, bicycle, nature-walk, birdwatch, whale-gaze, explore, eat, drink, shop...

He is properly expressive when suffering Alceste's bombast...
...racquetwomen's prospects at the beginning of the season seemed uncertain at best. Sarah Mlezcko, a superb squash player and one of Harvard's finest athletes, decided to take a rest from competitive sports. The Crimson had to rely on the improvement of Becky Tune, the development of freshmen Cynthia Stanton and Courtney Stimpson, and the performance of junior transfer student Nell Foreman...
