Raynor took advantage of the Crimson's negative ball control and wheeled and dealed the Green into a 12 point lead, 54-42. But Harvard was just too overbearing on the boards and with Lewis turning in a superb performance under the boards (game high 11 rebounds) and from the charity stripe (7 of 8), the Crimson started to come alive...
What was even more amazing was the fact that four Crimson times were superior to those recorded in a top invitational meet in California. Clayton's superb 1000 is, as far as I know, the fastest in the world so far this year. His 2:08.0 was a tenth of a second faster than the winning time by Kenyan Olympian Mike Boit at the L.A. Times meet. Nick Leone's 600 was better than that recorded in L.A., while both the two-mile and one-mile Crimson relays also topped L.A. clockings...
...18th century, Fragonard and Boucher. "He who has not lived be fore the Revolution," said Metternich, "cannot know the sweetness of life," and Renoir's spiritual home was built before 1789.

Or the vigorous, limpid Still Life with Bouquet, 1871 , whose tones of gold, amber and black sum up his affinities with Impressionism - light caress ing every surface, revealing each nu ance of substance from...
With the proper schooling early on, Cleo's superb natural voice could have carried her into an operatic or lieder career. Smoky and sinuous in its middle range, it leaps effortlessly between octaves (sometimes going as high as an Yma Sumac "super F" above high C). Sometimes it skitters exhilaratingly around its bright upper reaches, then makes darting swallow-like swoops into the dark, resonant chest-tone regions of a Marilyn Home...
...devil, Edward Mulhare is an urbane charmer, and Paul Henreid's Commendatore and Agnes Moore-head's Dona Ana are all that could be asked. In the title role, Ricardo Montalban is superb, no libertine at all, but Shaw incarnate, with his puritan passion for exposing hypocrisy and cant. If all our minds are freer of the pollution of smug platitudes, it is because Shaw, with his Jovian laughter, helped to clear them. -T.E.Kalem
