...with one of their key men out, with many other regulars tired and numbed with disillusionment, the team must prepare to work for the hardest task any team in the country could wish for, that of facing Dartmouth, terror or of the east...
...spirited dynamic farce character, Cindy Lou becomes more than a burlesque of Gone With the Wind, achieves her own mannerisms, drawls her own lingo,* spits her own fire. Actress Claire plays her admirably. A terror for house parties in real life, Cindy Lou is the makings of one on the stage.

...York World's Fair site, not to be opened for 5,000 years, collected letters to posterity written by Nobel Prize-winners Albert Einstein, Robert Andrews Millikan, Thomas Mann-and by Grover Aloysius Whalen (Fair Manager).

The crew use him as a butt, let up on him slightly when he is half dead. Once they find a substitute outlet in a fantastic rat-hunt-the high point of Sandemose's grotesque humor...
