TWENTY-ONE PERCENT of last year's seniors pulled off an amazing double feat--they had below median grades and they graduated with honors. Such is the end result of Harvard's system for distributing honors, a system that is increasingly growing out of sync with the ostensible purpose of the practice--rewarding superior performance...
...black hair and the perfect aristocratic amble, he looks young enough to enjoy almost anything...anything, that is, but his role as Honore. He sings "I'm Glad I'm Not Young Anymore" as though he believes the lines even less than we. That he appears to lip-sync this and "Thank Heaven for Little Girls" seems all the sadder because he can perform "I Remember It Well", with "Mamita" (Taina Elg) with too much meaning: we all remember another Jourdan and another Gigi all too well...
Mondale's media campaign, by contrast, seemed seldom in sync with what the candidate was seen doing on the evening news. Granted, the Democratic challenger had the unenviable task of attacking an admired incumbent. "We had to say things aren't as good as you think," said Senior Adviser Richard Leone. Nonetheless, the Mondale camp ran only about 20 different spots, about half the Reagan total, and spent less too (about $20 million, in contrast to Reagan's $25 million). The ads either focused on dry, nonvisual subjects like the deficit, or scattered their blasts...
There are some moment's when the conceits and the text fall into sync. The little softshoe Latin lesson the disguised Lucentio imparts upon the eager Bianca is such a gem that the eyes dazzle for the next two scenes. Cue cards with handy translations of Key but obscure Shakespearean terms works so well they would be a welcome addition to very would be a welcome addition to every future production at the ART. But if the flourishes are brilliant, the total picture is murky...
...only 150 such openings to fill (his selections so far include 14 women, two blacks). Courts-of-appeals judges appointed by Democratic Presidents outnumber G.O.P. appointees 70 to 58, though Reagan still has twelve unfilled appointments with which to close the gap. Some appeals courts are completely out of sync with the top court. The Ninth Circuit in San Francisco, for example, had 27 cases reviewed by the Supreme Court and only one affirmed. Moreover, some state supreme courts have begun to interpret their own constitutions more liberally than the U.S. Supreme Court does the federal Constitution. For instance...
