This was no new experience for the soft-spoken 27-year-old "baby" of the current Harvard coaching staff. He has been moving objects out of the way on the football field since the tender age of seven, when he played sandlot football in Sykesville, Pennsylvania. "You might say I got my football start in those days," Madar recalls. "It was all rough and tumble stuff, and we just pulled and hauled until we got the ball away from each other, but it was a start in the right direction, anyway...
Alkmena was probably one of the few hausfraus in ancient drama. She was, as she says, just a middle-class mortal. Following this tradition, Giradoux's Alkmena is a tender, faithful, loving wife with no desire to fulfill her destiny with Bulfinch's mythology.

Said Cherub: "I remember calling him, nothing worse than a penny-pinching jerk...
Furthermore, the Dartmouth rebuttal had touched a tender spot. One of the alumni who saw it was none other than Tribune Managing Editor "Pat" Maloney (Dartmouth '13). The Trib promptly called Ottawa to ask Griffin about that "moon is green" crack. Griffin issued a blustering denial: "The Dartmouth bull about me was just a lot of goddamn lies by some scared, chickentrack Dickey jerks who can't contradict what I wrote. They were afraid the alumni will look into what's going on at Dartmouth, so they tried like hell to get me fired...
